Comments about Fellowes VENUS 125 12.5" Thermal & Cold Laminator:

Was having laminating done in store and just didn't make good financial sense. Got great deal on this and love it. Use it for many other uses than what originally purchased for. Highly recommend at least a 7 mil pouch. The 3 mil is way too thin for something you want to protect long term.

      Comments about Fellowes VENUS 125 12.5" Thermal & Cold Laminator:

      I am using the Venus to laminate plant labels
      to be used outside in the garden. Right now I am using 5 mil. I will see how this holds up over time. If anyone has any comments please let me know. The Venus takes about 5 min. to warm up &
      after that it works great. I like the fact that
      the machine opens up so you can clean the 4 rollers or unclog a jamb if it occurs, although I have not had that happen with this machine. I did have a different brand before this that did jamb & not work very well which is why I up graded to this machine.

      • Q:

        How does the cold laminator function work? I have a broken Cool Laminator by Brother and use roll cartridges which i have a lot leftover! I really don't want to go to a thermal laminator with pouches. Seems like it smells strong, and is more expensive per document that using rollers. Please advise!

          A:

          I have researched and found that for cold laminating there are 8 steps. I have listed a link to the manual for you:

      • Q:

        My small office is interested in purchasing a product that can be used by several people. Is there a warrenty or a service plan that can be purchased along with this item?

        Also, do you buy special pouches for this product or can the regular pouches (that are typcially used with a carrier) be used without the carrier for this product?

        Thanks!

      • Q:

        Hi,

        We had previously purchase another type of laminator and are no longer able to use it because a laminating sheet got stuck in it. Unfortunately, I had to pull it out in order to retrieve it. I was wondring if this laminating machine opened up in order to allow individuals to retrieve laminating sheets and other materials that may get stuck in the machine. Thank you for your assistance.

      • Q:

        It looks like you don't have to use a cardboard pouch to put the heat laminate inside of before entering it into your product. I'm interested in your product. I owned a GBC laminator in the past and ruined it because being in a hurry I forgot to use the cardboard pouch, thus destroying the machine.

        Also, I have an awful lot of GBC Lamination heat seals. Can I finish using them without the pouch and not damage the venus VL-125. Then I'll use your Lamination products.

        Thanks for your help.

        Regards,

      • Q:

        I noticed from the previous question that the unit does not require a carrier BUT will it accept one? We have found, with our older Avant laminator that using a carrier provides the best results.

      • Q:

        If I buy pouches for letter size lamination, so the pouches seem to be 9 x 11 1/2, do I also need to buy a trimmer if I'm laminating standard 8 1/2 by 11 paper?
        Thanks

          A:

          the 9 x 11 1/2 will allow enough extra space for the laminating sheet to adhere together.
