[CASL-L] laminator recommendations

[Cheryl Robertson]

We recently upgraded to the ARL 2700, and it's a great machine.  USI is a
local company (Madison), and they are incredibly efficient and helpful.
Further, we avoid the steep shipping fees on the laminating film since
we're able to pick it up from them.  Keep that in mind if you have any
colleagues who live in the area.  Our last USI laminator lasted for
decades, so we're hopeful this one will last as well.
