Can you cut your document along the document edge, or do you need to leave 1/8" margin of plastic for the film to adhere?

I do not understand your question, I use AL18P for paper 11x8.5 and Laminating Pouches 9x11.5 I do not cut document or film, I leave 1/8" of plastic. Depend what job you do.

You can cut your document right at the paper edge and the film will still adhere. It does adhere to the paper surface, but you will always get a cleaner edge if you leave at least 1/16" of lamination over the document. I got a corner stamp that gives my corners a nice 1/4 round edge, and makes your document look more finished and professional. You can even use the 1/4 round punch on your laminated product even if you cut it right to the document edge. Hope that helps!

Yes mine does have a slight bit of the edges cut off as well. It seems the monitor does not show the edges which might be a pain if your intent was to watch it for enjoyment. As for what I use it for that is not a issue. The final copy of the tapes transferred seem to be there all the way to the edges which is what matters for what I am doing. I have never attempted to adjust mine. Good Luck Garry

Well, I imagine you could since the adhesive is where the writing is. But, you'd have to be extremely careful and precise while cutting it.

Some will argue that it is not "precise enough" for the task at hand. I use it primarily for cutting stacks of bulletins, announcements, and some posters. So far, when cutting smaller stacks of heavyweight paper, it's been precise to about 1/32 of an inch. If you cram the paper in beyond what is suggested, you will likely encounter a problem. The green plastic holder you see just beside the blade is very snug on the paper or card stock when the lock is in the proper place. If you forget to lock it, well, it will move!! That is not the fault of the cutter. Several staff members have used and like the precision of the cutter. No complaints from us! It is an extreme improvement over what we have had in the past.

You need a clean, flat surface for the plastic to adhere to; however, it might be possible to cut around an obstruction.

To get from the paper tray to the printer heads and out of the printer, the medium to be printed has to make a hairpin turn of maybe 1-2 inches radius. Regular copier paper has no problem with that, but the occasional adhesive CD/DVD label just might come loose from its backing, really gumming up the works. This applies to adhesive labels generally. I couldn't in good conscience recommend using this model for such an application.

I have just trimmed a piece of cardboard to the right size and used for additional dividers. I think Home Depot sells sheet plastic but thought it would be difficult to cut to size, so I used cardboard instead.

Yes, you are able to seperate the adhesive film with the actual paper. You can cut it down to size if it is needed.

Yes, you can trim to fit - just as long as you leave a small edge around the item (on all sides) so that the film sticks together.

Hello Gail E. Jordan GE; These pouches are the ones I purchased to use as you are attempting. If you measure the outside dimensions of the pouch they exceed the8 1/2" X 11" of the paper which allows the written paper to be sealed on all 4 edges. There are 2 ways to accomplish this; 1-Print the front and back of your document on 2 pieces of paper and align them to each other and proceed as the directions state. 2-More easily, print the front and rear of the document on 1 piece of paper and do as the directions are written. This way saves paper and ink. This is an excellent Scotch product. Hope this info is helpful. Any other questions, please ask.Charlie Hello Gail E.

You don't need to! I shortened mine just by taping up the folders I don't use (so I only have three on display). A strong paperclip would do the job as well.

Hi Johnathan, I think the best way to do what you want to do is to use a flush cutting bit adjusted to be about the thickness of a sheet of paper away from the plywood for the final pass. Adding a larger base made from masonite or plexiglass could help prevent "dig in" of the bit as you approach the edge. After the last pass with the router, carefully sand the edging flush with the plywood.

I use the top metal guide to line up the paper. I also use the grid lines. It cuts quite nicely and seems to be pretty accurate.

After installing the film on a window, instead of shrinking all of the film I just heat the film on the edges where it's stuck to the tape to make sure that it's bonded well, and then I can reuse the film the following year.

Yes, easily with a sharp exacto knife. We cut and pieced two of our pieces to fill the window space and didn't have any trouble with cutting the film.
