with multi-use adhesive

Xyron's EZ-Laminator occupies a place on the
lower-volume, small office, home, and craft end of the laminating
world. Cold laminating has many inherent advantages for the occasional
user in that it is safe, fast, and very easy to learn. In the following
review we take a quick look at the EZ-Laminator and present you with a
list of what we consider to be this machines strengths, as well as its
limitations.

Strengths:

1. We were pleased to find that he EZ-Laminator is a very easy
   machine to use. All you need to do in order to achieve great lamination
   is to place the document into the feed and crank the handle. In this
   process, there is no need for heat, batteries, or even electricity.
2. 
   When it's time to change or replace the laminating film, all you need
   to do is to left the lid and change out the cartridge. We were
   pleasantly surprised at how easy the cartridges were to access and
   change. The cartridges also have an alert system that lets users know
   when the time to change it is near.
3. We found the
   EZ-Laminator to be a remarkably versatile laminating system. The
   cartridges are interchangeable and let the user change laminating
   styles very quickly and easily. For instance, there are cartridges for
   laminating items on both sides or for laminating one side while
   applying adhesive to the other side. Plus, it is all cold laminating
   and that means that there is no danger of suffering any kind of burn
   while changing out the cartridges or working with the laminator in any
   way.
4. With the EZ-Laminator it is also possible to trim
   your laminated documents right in the machine, or the user can take out
   the cutting tray and trim the items by hand if that is more convenient.

Weaknesses:

1. The nine inch width of the EZ-Laminator is a pretty decent
   capacity for a machine like this. However, if you are going to need to
   laminate documents that are wider than nine inches, you will have to
   look elsewhere. Investing in a machine that is twelve inches wide will
   not only allow you to laminate larger format documents, it will also
   enable you to increase your productivity by more than twenty percent
   over a nine inch laminator.
2. As it is operated manually,
   the EZ-Laminator is probably not the best choice for any kind of high
   volume or longer run laminating jobs. Ideally, this machine will be
   used for home or small office projects, such as scrapbooking and other
   crafts. This is a great machine for occasional use and is not cut out
   for producing thousands of documents or prints.
3. 
   Encapsulation and sticker creation cartridges are available for this
   machine. However, those are the only two tasks that this machine is
   able to perform. Xyron makes other cold laminating machines that can
   create finished products in matte laminate, with multi-use adhesive,
   and there are also some machines that can create magnets. If these are
   features you think you might want, you should probably take a look at
   some of Xyron's other, more feature-rich machines.
