Not really work as expected
on July 12, 2020
Posted by: selena5001
I read various website and reviews for laminators and decided to give this a try as my first laminator purchase. The main purpose of my purchase is to make some DYI education board games, flash cards or printed documents etc for my young kids at home and sometimes for photo laminating. It looks cute and works great for a while at the very beginning, until I start laminating some handmade pages with holes. I was trying to make a book similar to go away the big green monster that it is half of A4 page with some holes in the page. The laminating results are just nightmare... big bubbles, or only edge is laminated but the center of the page itself does not. I originally thought maybe it is not hot enough when I put the pouch in so I tried to laminating the page again, but it just make it even worse. I don’t know if it is a design issue or just a defect of the particular product I bought but really frustrated with the results. Since then laminating big pages never get perfect results Eg the edge of the page has about 5mm frosty where before it is almost 1mm and invisible etc. Now I only use it to laminating small stuff like flash card and board game pieces etc, or a complete A4 size document. I posted several photos about this in https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/fellowes-spectra-95-laminator-with-pouch-starter-kit/6000197533742
Pros: Anti-Jamming Features, ease of use, Safety Features, Speed, Warranty
Cons: Quality Construction
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Selena5001. Thank you for taking the time to post your review. If there is a lot of empty space in the pouch, it will not laminate properly and may even jam. In order for us to better help you and understand the situation, we have reached out to you direct. Please check your inbox for a note from us. We would appreciate an opportunity to assist you.

Spectra 95 Laminator worked extremely well
on July 26, 2020
Posted by: DrRG
9 months after my original purchase, thanks to a move to another state, I finally got to try out my Spectra 95 Fellowes Laminator. My girls do a lot of art work and I was looking for a way to perserve some of their paper art. I started with an oil crayon picture of a sunflower my youngest created at a local arts center class. The laminator did an excellent job and I don't have to worry about the oil crayon work getting warm and coming off on other surfaces.
Pros: Anti-Jamming Features, ease of use, Mil Thickness Capacity, Speed
I would recommend this to a friend!
