I've had this machine for years. Works great. Unfortunately the film doesn't work with dry erase markers as I had hoped. Ideas?

From my experience, it depends on the marker. I can use a large expo marker and some of the dollar store markers, but not others.

So far, I've tried Permanent, dry erase, wet erase and nothing works. I've put a piece of tape on it and then wrote on the tape. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I haven't recorded on this machine yet, which I purchased to replace the discontinued model with a built - in tuner. I could not play back DVD- disks recorded on that machine. Some dvd+ disks recorded on that machine seemed to go bad after a lot of use, as well. The lightly used vcr is what failed completely. I liked having the controls on the box, which Toshiba did not have.

I write on mine with a Sharpie Ultra Fine Point Permanent Marker. I have not experienced any problems. My last order was shipped on 11-25-2013. The DVD finish on this order does not appear to be different from my previous order.

I am not the seller, but we have one and have had zero problems with it.... yours may be defective or you are not using the correct staples for it... we purchased the staple that go with the machine and have had no problems, jams and have made around 1000 booklets with it.

I don't know... they give you a pen. and I think you have to use water soluble pens, not dry erase. or I think it said it would leave ghost markings.

Be careful what DVD blanks you purchase. DVD+Rs that I recorded only played back on this machine. I was about to try DVD-R when the machine seemed to lose its control logic. Now it does not recognize any DVDs as readable or writable. It is not that old and has been flakey for a while.

The ones I received had very water down color it hardly worked on dry erase board. Maybe try window markers and problem a different brand

We have had the same problem , my son was interested in the instant camera so we have bought 2 different cameras on line and have bought film at the camera store as well as Amazon, it's still the same. Maybe the cameras are too old or the film is just not manufactured right.

These actually work best on the Widescreen Light Designer in comparison to paper. It's not chalky or creamy enough to show up on black paper and it writes like regular Crayola markers on white paper.

Sorry I can't help you. That never happened to me. My brother used it after I converted all my old slides to images to also convert his slides and had no problems. Between us we had thousands of slides! Maybe it is defective? Maybe you can return it for another one. I had to return my first one and they were excellent about it. Hope you can do it! I loved using mine because it was so simple! Hope this helps a bit.

If the same happens with all VCR tapes, either the machine malfunctions or you may be missing something in the directions. Follow those listed on pages 50-51. I've succeeded in all of my 25 tries. Good luck!

I use dry and wet erase markers on this and I have found the best thing to utilize to wipe them off is Lysol Disinfectant Wipes. The ones in the Yellow containers. :-)

I just purchased one myself. I have converted several hundred old (1974-1983) 35mm colored slides into digital images. I have had no problems. The one thing I noticed is the way the slide is put into the scanner. The slide cannot always be put into the scanner in the same position it is put into the viewgraph projector. Sometimes it must be turned 90 degrees or it will cut off some of the picture. Once the slide is scanned it can then be rotated back by the computer slide viewer. Don't know if this is your problem.

Thank you. Yeah, I've already bought an extra pack just for the erasers. Now I've got pencils with no erasers, which is a sad waste. I just emailed Papermate and will hopefully get a positive response! Thanks again.

I have used it 2 times and works perfectly. Follow mfg. instructions. Insert tape and press play for 10sec...then stop. remove the tape and DO NOT REWIND...that isall. The next time you need to clean the machine....do the same procedure. I have used my tape twice and it has not reached even half of total length.After you have used the total length...rewind it completely. Tape loses efectiveness after 4 or 5 total lentgh rewinds. GOOD LUCK.

Cody, I just tried it and it works. The dry marker doesn't seem to be very dark on the laminate but is does go and the dry erasers take it back off. Hope this helps.

Thank you so much for posting. I also got mine at a goodwill! Love this maker though. Would buy a new one but this one still works great!
