Subject: Re: [CASL-L] laminator recommendations
_______________________________________________The ARL looks like it’s very similar to the CSL 2700 model, which is what I have. I think the main difference is the ARL has a digital temp readout and a lock feature and the CSL doesn’t.
I’m really happy with the CSL 2700.
It works well, and it’s much easier to load than the 50 year-old (literally) nightmare laminator it replaced.
Office staff is great, and the laminating film is cheaper than Demco.

Subject: [CASL-L] laminator recommendations
Hi all,
I'm bringing up the age old question of what laminator you recommend. I am pretty familiar with the GBC machines, but I am curious if anyone has experience with any of the other brands sold by USI including the ARL (looks like their own brand) and MiniKote laminators. I was looking at the USI ARL 2700 27" Digital Thermal Roll Laminator as one option. You can see all the laminators below.
I have previously heard good feedback about USI, but wanted to ask for any specifics since they have a CLC contract.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Sarah
