  12. Tabletop laminator?

    Hi all, We have a 61" Royal Sovereign roll laminator, but for small jobs it chews a lot of lamination with in/outfeed. A flatbed laminator, (Rollsroller type) would be useful, but too much for our needs. What about a smaller table top type unit? Something to use with cut sheets and capable of...
