I'm planning to buy a lamintor tomorrow. I've noticed that woolies have ones for about £12, does anyone know if it's any good? Also, really daft question - can you still photocopy something once its laminated, I'm sure you can but just wanted to check.

Mine is a Texet and I bought it from Wilkinson's - it's been great

Mines from Argos, think I paid £19.99. Love it. Laminate everything.
Yes you can still photocopy something that is laminated, I've done it a few times!! If it's something important, its always a good idea to photocopy first....just incase the laminator decides to chew it up!!!

Don't laminate baby scan pictures!!!!! I've heard they go black..

Laminating makes colours brighter so they copy really well...

Mine is a cheap and basic machine and works well! :D

mine was from tesco - think £11.99 - its fab - if it stands still long enough it gets laminated - my new rule!!

My laminator proved its weight in gold earlier, as did Sparklebox. After an argument over a mini beast word mat - Hey Presto they all have one each. :clapping:

Mine is the same as Miffy's and is really good. Think it was about £12.

Ooooh a new toy...I sense a purchase coming on!:D

I have the woolies one and its been great. Seems to take a while to warm up but i am not familiar with laminators so that could be a common thing.

oh right i want one as well but to be honest things are a bit of a struggle and i thought they were alot of money didnt know they were as cheep as you are all saying um will have to look into it :thumbsup: x

I got my laminating sheets from Rymans when they were 3 for 2. Otherwise they can be expensive. But they have come up before in Poundland, so i tend to stock up if i see them.

Even my own kids love doing pictures and having them laminated - the last ones were pictures of themselves with Daddy to go in his shed!!

Its such fun and you can turn a picture into a place mat etc as a quick activity with something for them to take home.

Mine got used to the limit last week in anticipation of my Ofsted inspection - plenty of hand washing posters and songs etc, House Rules, Trampoline Rules etc etc!!!

Ooooh a new toy...I sense a purchase coming on!:D

Don't you have a laminator Tatia? You must get one - they're great fun :laughing:

I love my laminator - when I first got it I laminated everything in sight, if you stayed still long enough you would have been flattend. Easy to store and wipe clean.

Laminators are fab!!!

Enjoy!

I got one from argos for £20 on special offer. It does A3 too so its very useful for any bigger pieces of work!

my kids bought me mine love it my 7year old is always getting me to laminat his drawings. I print my photos on to ordinary white paper then laminat them the come up much brighter than on photo paper

Thanks everyone, I can't wait to start now.. .. only thing is, I didn't get to Woolies today so will have to wait until next week now :(
