We make books for children. We print sheets of computer paper and then laminate those pages. We have been doing the comb binding but were hoping for something more permanent. Can we bind with laminated paper?

No, it doesn't hold very well. I would stick with the binding combs to be honest. This hasn't worked well to bind even 20 pages together for us. Pretty disappointing.

Yes, you can. You can't trim right up to the paper though. You'll need to leave a little bit of laminate margin around the bookmark.

We've just used regular computer paper and construction paper and they seem to work fine on both. I also recently used them on the side of a smooth cardboard box.

No, I mainly use them to laminate book marks, sealing my printed book marks between the two sheets. I never heard of running these through the printer. These aren't the type of laminate sheets that you feed through a laminator. If you purchase that type, you put your document between the two sheets and place them inside a sheet feeder. The laminator is very hot, so you need to use this sheet feeder.

YES most definitely and in my opinion works better, but do not use permanent with the paper!

It has a slider along the top where you insert your pages to be a guide. You can move it over and do a smaller size no problem. You'll just cut your combs or purchase smaller ones. It does an 8.5x11 sheet laminated. So the longest is probably about 11.5" or 12".

I print them for work, on an HP Color LaserJet. They come out pretty good, except sometimes the sheets stick together when they feed so I have to watch them carefully. I do a lot of desktop design so I can set up the labels in Adobe InDesign exactly as I want them to print on the sheet. Not all software probably gives you that option.

I had this same question, and it turns out you can so long as the are for the appropriate temperature range (i.e., don't use cold laminating sheets in this hot laminator).

Yes. I have been laminating covers for a spiral-bound book, and putting a regular sheet of paper as the cover paired with a sheet of card stock behind it to stiffen it. I do this with 5-mil sheets and it turns out fine.

No, you need to have a bonding agent. The paper is there for the glue thats naturally in it and holds everything together. You could in theory add a different type of glue or wax.

You can laminate a page full of business cards & then use a paper cutter to cut them precisely. You can not cut the laminate sheets prior to putting them through the machine.

Yes. The startup kit includes the covers and combs to do just that. The number of sheets you can bind depends on the comb size you select. I have done small projects like your 20 - 50 sheet one as well as larger ones up to 350 or so sheets of 24# paper plus covers.

The binding is hard to describe. The main thing is that it is fixed. Sheets cannot be added or removed. Plan accordingly when designing your book/portfolio

I am not sure what you mean when you say does it bond 6 x 9. It will bind any size paper that will fit the comb length. You can buy the binders in different widths to fit the number of pages you will be binding. You can cut the binders to the length you need if it is longer than you need.

Good question. I don't know. I don't think the paper would work, but the sticky tanglefoot might. If you try it and it works, please let me know. Thanks, Bob

This won't work for pages that need to be glued back to the binding. I've used it to repair torn pages and the outside binding.
