Tamerica VersaLam 1300 13 Inch One Side Two Side Roll Laminator Review

The Tamerica VersaLam 1300 is a great laminating system for a small to medium office

. It offers heavy duty design in a medium size machine. You can choose from either one or two sided lamination with a wide variety of other options as well. Here is a closer look at the details.

Strengths:

Once switched on, a "Ready" light will come on along with an audible alert. The variable speed and temperature controls allow you to complete multiple projects with a single machine. A temperature memory function lets you use the same temperature with multiple jobs without having to reset the device every time.

This device comes with a manual emergency shut off for immediate cessation. It also has a reverse function to help with the clearing of any jams that may occur. This feature also works well if you have a misfeed; simply reverse the item back out to you and start again.

The heated rollers are made of top grade silicon rubber to prevent bubbles or scratches occurring during lamination. The bottom rollers can have the heat turned off for one sided lamination if needed.

A mountable laminator stand is included with this product. This gives you the option of storing the machine on a table if you'd prefer or on the stand. The stand is convenient because it has wheels for added mobility. And it leaves your surfaces free.

Both tension knobs are spring loaded on the upper and lower rollers to apply the exact pressure needed. Middle and rear de-curling bars help to keep hot items from curling up and hardening in that position. They also help to keep items moving through smoothly instead of curling back into itself.

With a maximum 13 inch width, this device is perfect for smaller to medium document lamination. It uses one or three inch core sizes, provides both one and two sided laminating, and has a maximum mounting capacity of 3/16". The adjustable feed guide aids in keeping items from entering the machine crooked and coming out wrinkled.

The VersaLam can handle a 500 foot roll of 1.5mil film and accepts up to 10mil film. Items are processed as fast as 4 feet per minute, allowing a standard size paper to slide through in less than 15 seconds on the fastest speed.

Tamerica guarantees this laminator with a one year warranty.

Weaknesses:

The width is limited to 13 inches. For most smaller offices needing to protect standard size signs or photos, this won't be an issue. But offices dealing with larger amounts of posters or other oversize documents will want a wider machine. We recommend the MyBinding MY2700L, which offers a 27 inch width capacity.

One thing that would be nice is a foot pedal for hands free operation. However, this is more of a luxury than a necessity for most and we don't think it detracts too much from the machine's value.

Overall, the Tamerica VersaLam is well suited for the laminating needs of a small to medium office. It would be great in a school, small print shop, or restaurant. With a variety of options and many automated features, this device is both efficient and convenient. If you're looking for a smaller laminator, be sure the check out the VersaLam 1300 today!
