If you're looking for a new laminator and you frequently laminate a lot of small items such as business cards, photographs, and bookmarks, you're reading the right review. This review of GBC's HeatSeal H110 will tell you all you need to know about this cool little laminator, from its strengths to its handful of weaknesses. Continue reading to find out more about the HeatSeal H110 and how it can keep you laminating!
The GBC HeatSeal H110 is a photo-quality pouch laminator that is designed to laminate small documents. The throat on this machine measures 4.5 inches across, so if you're looking for a machine that can laminate larger items, you need to check out another laminator, such as the HeatSeal H212.
Despite its small size, the HeatSeal H110 has some impressive traits. It can handle pouches that are 3 and 5 mil thick, and it offers three different temperature settings. Two of these are for heat lamination and the other one is for cold. You will never have to worry about selecting the correct temperature because the temperature settings are fixed, making this machine very user-friendly. The machine warms up fairly quickly and is ready for use in about five minutes. (A light will go on when it's ready.) You also don't need to use a carrier with this machine, which eliminates a step in the laminating process and saves you a little bit of extra time, but it could also cause you some problems. (More about this in a moment.)
The HeatSeal H110 is an inexpensive laminator, retailing for about $50.00. As you can guess from the price, this means the machine is lacking in certain areas. For starters, advanced users may not like the laminator's fixed temperature settings because they make it difficult to really control how your project will turn out. Likewise, some people may need a machine that can handle thicker pouches.
But perhaps the biggest drawback about the HeatSeal H110 is something that's also a strength: you don't need to use a carrier with this machine. How is this a drawback? Well, if you don't use a carrier, it's very possible that the melted adhesive will seep out of your laminating pouch, jamming the machine and possibly damaging it beyond repair. (Then you'd need to buy a replacement machine. Who wants to do that?) The H110 lacks both a jam release lever and a reverse function, so it will be very difficult to clear any jams you experience with this machine. Therefore, you're advised to use a carrier every time you use the H110 - or any other pouch laminator, for that matter.
The GBC HeatSeal H110 is good for users who mostly laminate smaller objects, as well as people who are looking for a basic laminator that's extremely easy to operate. It does produce some great-looking lamination, so odds are, you'll be happy with this product if you purchase it. Just make sure you always use a carrier when operating the H110 so you can save yourself the possible hassle and expense of replacing your laminator.
