If I am trying to laminate pieces of paper that are 4x10 is it possible to feed 2 pieces of paper at once with one pouch or does not work like that?

In addition to my last response...I place as many papers as I can fit Ito the film as possible as to not waste the film. I am a kindergarten teacher and go through a lot of the film/pouches. Just make sure to leave a space in between each paper within the pouch so you can cut around it.

I have never tried that, but I think, as long as the paper fits inside the sleeve (with maybe 1/4" clearance at the edges) it should be fine.

You can use one pouch. Put the 4X10 in side by side but remember to leave space between and for cutting. You always want to have a bout 1/4 inch of the laminate around the paper. If you cut it clean it tends to come apart. You want a good seal all around. The pouches are 81/2 by 11 or a little bigger so should work well. Also remember if you cut a small part of laminate out for a small something, make sure you cut front and back perfect. If the laminate is not exact when you run it through it melts on the roller inside and then you have issues. Icky sticky mess. Yep I did it. My cuts were not perfect. You can use one pouch.

I am not sure if you can do it, but I had to do something like this and I worked around it as following:I light-glued both papers on a blank A4 paper and laminated them as one piece.

Yes, open the pouch, incert one 4x10 at the top and second to the bottom feed trough and you done.

Krystal: Yes, you can laminate multiple papers as long as they fit inside the "pouch". You can also cut them to their respective edges and not worry about the lamination peeling away--the heat from the laminator seems to seal the plastic film tightly to the paper inside. I've been extremely pleased with its results, saving me $1+ per page for the same result at Office Max or Office Depot. Richard

On top of the regular paper tray there is a single sheet feeder that is also for envelopes. So yes, you can feed an envelope from there manually one at a time. When you stick something in that top manual feed section it automatically disables the lower tray so you don't have to change any settings, it just pulls from the manual feed spot. I don't print on envelopes so I haven't actually used the single sheet tray for that but I have used it for other things.

Yes, but it's a little wonky. You take the full-sized pouch and place your items at the folded end, then insert that end into the machine. After the items are laminated, you'll have to cut them out with scissors or an exacto knife, being careful to leave a little border of plastic around them. I did this with several small cards when I first unpacked the laminator.

With this machine, you are limited to 81/2 x 11 laminate sheets. You would have to cut the long border into the mentioned size and depending on the width of the border, two might be able to fit in the 81/2 x 11 sheet. But I don't think this is what you want to do, so you should look for an industrial laminator that has two rolls of laminated and can accommodate any length.

If you get the SCOTCH SELF SEALING LAMINATING POUCHES you can. I have done book marks, address lists, rosters and instructions. I love this product. I made the mistake of getting single sided laminating sheets . . . ugh. . waste of time and energy, I returned them to the store where there were purchased. hope this helps.

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.

Wyre, when youre putting the document into the laminating pouch be sure to push your document all the way to the very back so that it is aligned stably in the pouch. Once you do that DO NOT forget to load the paper the same way - Sealed end in first and you will have no problems! I know this information will be helpful.

Yes. I have used smaller pouches to laminate recipe cards and have not had any issues.

Yes. I was able to laminate 8.5 x 11 inch sheets of paper and cut things out. The edges stayed intact and did not peel off.

Yes, one envelope can be fed at a time through the slot in the front. I often use it to feed photo paper and brochure paper and such to save the printer from having to deal with thick pieces which can cause a little more wear than I would like on the paper tray mechanism. The centering guides go down to 3".

The instructions expect you just to insert the laminating pouch. I think use of a carrier sheet is not advisable.

So far, has done great with whatever I've thrown at it. I have put different size paper at the same time with no problem. I don't recall if I've tried different thicknesses.

To be honest, I have different lengths of kraft paper like this, thus would need multiple cutters to fit all the sizes. Therefore, I use the old chair and sharp scissors method! Hope this helps??? Bob

There is a manual feed, but:1) one page at a time, and2) edge-control is not great. Paper VERY likely to feed crooked unless you're super-precise and attentive (and, I found, that you basically have to hold the edge-guides manually tight against the paper as it feeds, a neat coordination trick to do WHILE you hold the paper you're feeding in, since there's no tray/shelf for the paper to lie on while you feed it into the "mailslot").Essentially, the manual feed thing is rudimentary, and ok only for the occasionally envelope or whatever that you don't care if it's slightly crooked.

I don't really have a definitive answer for you. I know I chose the TL902 because it was the new version of the TL901 and had good reviews. I believe you can cold laminate by merely selecting the lower heat setting for 3mm thicknesses and run the pouch through before it heats up. I don't recall if the rollers turn before you select a heat setting or not. This would work for one or two cold laminations before it heated up. I don't know what heat does to a cold lamination pouch. Guess you could find out.

You would need to make it into 4 smaller portions so your board can still fold. If you do a large (via a plot printer) and try to fold the large, single piece, the paper will start to curl and peel off. Four separate ones and you'll be fine.

I am so sorry, I misread the question. The feeder will not handle that size paper. Sorry for the confusion.
