Reviewing The Akiles Pro-lam Photo Laminator
One of the top reasons for using a laminator is to protect your precious photographs
and one machine that can help you do just that is the Akiles Pro-Lam Photo Laminator. This is one of the best photo laminators available, but it does have a couple of weaknesses that need to be considered. Please continue reading to find out all about them.Strengths:
* This device has six rollers for a perfect finish. Two of them are cool, while the other four are hot so the heat is distributed evenly. This configuration ensures that photographs are laminated perfectly, and you can also achieve good results with other items that are difficult to laminate, including documents printed on inkjet photo papers. The rollers are part of Akiles' patented Flex-Tite system that forces the rollers to maintain the appropriate amount of pressure no matter what the temperature is set at.
* This machine has a 13-inch feed opening that can handle your standard 4" x 6" snapshots all the way up to portrait-sized photos. The Pro-Lam Photo can even handle thin mounting boards.
* The Pro-Lam Photo is equipped with variable temperature settings so you can do cold lamination. It can also be used with pouches ranging in thickness from 3 to 10 mil. You won't need to give the machine a breather when switching temperatures and the device will even remember your settings so you can use them again, even if you shut off your device.
* Every time you use this machine, you can be confident that the temperature and speed are both set correctly because this device is equipped with an 8-bit micro processor that guarantees the right setting is in place. Also, the device will shut off automatically if it reaches a temperature higher than 320 degrees (160 degrees Celsius), which will definitely keep your machine from overheating or burning up.
* This machine has variable laminating speeds that are dependent on which temperature setting you're using. The fastest it can go is 59 inches of material per minute.
* There is a jam-release switch you can use to quickly and easily resolve a jam.
* The Pro-Lam Photo's parts and housing are made entirely of metal, so this product is incredibly durable.
Weaknesses:
* Although some warranty is better than none at all, it's disappointing that this product only has one year's worth of protection. Still, the machine is built extremely well and chances are you will never have to use the warranty.
* Like most of Akiles' products, the Pro-Lam is very industrial-looking and lacks the style of some other laminators, such as the GBC HeatSeal series.
* This is a pretty bulky machine that will take up approximately 2 cubic feet, so it's not ideal if your workplace is lacking space. Likewise, this is not an inexpensive machine. It can be purchased for around $500.00, which will be too expensive for some people. However, it is an excellent choice for users who demand the highest quality output from their laminator.
