subject: Fellowes Voyager VY-125 12.5 Inch Pouch Laminator Review [print this page] If you're looking for a high performance laminator, check out the Fellowes Voyager VY-125 Pouch Laminator. This is a professional machine built for frequent, daily use in a large office. The heavy duty design offers reliable high volume use in a versatile, compact machine. Here is a closer look.
Strengths:
The wide 12.5 inch entry slot allows the quick lamination of standard as well as larger format documents. It only takes about four minutes to heat up and works as fast as 35 inches per minute, so you'll be able to finish fairly quickly. You can use up to 10mil pouches, offering a wide variety of thicknesses depending on your needs.
A user-friendly LCD control panel keeps the user aware of the machine's status and offers easy to use adjustments. The auto reverse feature senses any misfeeds and sends the item back out to the user before it becomes jammed. After a period of inactivity, the device switches off to save energy by not powering an unused machine.
Fellowes is the innovator of AutoLam technology, which enables the machine to self-adjust to the ideal settings for whatever you're laminating. This feature helps to ensure high quality lamination, no matter what material you're using.
HeatGuard is another unique feature. Double walled insulation keeps the heat inside the machine so you won't accidentally burn yourself on a hot outside surface. It's also designed to keep the heat away from the motor to avoid overheating.
High performance comes from multiple things. First, an advanced belt drive transport system works to keep things moving efficiently without jamming. And four rollers guarantee smooth, superior craftsmanship. The result is crystal clear documents that come out looking great every time.
A clamshell design offers easy access to the inside components for jam removal, cleaning, and maintenance. Convenient cleaning sensors alert the user when dirt or glue is detected. This allows you to keep your machine in pristine condition without overdoing it.
Fellowes guarantees this product with a one year warranty.
Weaknesses:
This device only offers hot lamination. This reduces the versatility by not accommodating thermal sensitive material, such as photos and items printed with water based inks. If you're looking for a machine that does both, we suggest the Fellowes Venus VL-125.
It can't laminate mounting boards. Many offices don't need this feature and for them this machine will still work great. However, if your office is looking for this specific capability, we recommend the GBC HeatSeal H600pro.
This laminator is on the larger side. It sits over two feet wide and is really designed for use on a large office work table, not a desk. As long as you are aware of this and have enough space, it won't be an issue.
Overall, the Voyager VY-125 is an excellent pouch laminator for any large office. The features make it super easy to use, even for beginners. It's too bad that it doesn't offer cold lamination. But if this isn't something you need, then this will be a great device for your office. Check it out for yourself today so you can start producing professional looking documents right from your own office.
