Incredible machine and very economical, also it supports up to A3 size so it covers everything I need.

You have two modes, one that just feeds the paper through to press it evenly without heat and that's for the self-adhesive tapes (with glue), and one with a thermal method where you use pouches with heat-activated glue.

I have tried both 80 micron and 125 micron pouches and it worked perfectly. I want to try lamination at 25 microns at some point but those require an additional teflon carrier sheet, otherwise they will stick to the rollers.

If you want small cards, it supports all sizes, leaving a few millimeters of extra plastic around the image. If you don't want that you can cut it off; I cut it to a size smaller than A4 and the edges did not come apart at all.

Note: I run them through a second and even a third time if I see it's needed to make sure it sticks perfectly even at the edges. It doesn't burn, it just remelts and seals much better. It's relatively slow but I didn't expect more, I'm just mentioning it so you know it's not for mass use. Especially when I run them a 2nd or 3rd time for extra certainty, it takes quite a bit of time.

For the money, the job it does is incredibly good, I honestly didn't expect it.
