The Must have office equipment – Laminating Machine

What is a laminating machine?

People might wish to protect their important documents so that they are not destroyed or harmed in any way and thus a laminating machine could be used to cover up these documents in order to protect them. If the document and its pages are not covered properly, the pages may either get crumpled or lose and can get damaged easily. If a person spill water, tea or drops the documents somewhere, they might get affected and in some cases, people might even have to renew them because of their bad condition. In order to avoid such circumstances, the best way is to laminate these documents and pages, which cover them in a strong plastic cover and does not allow them to get harmed or destroyed easily.

What are the different types of laminating machines available?

People might find that there are different types of laminating machines available in the market. In order to select the most suitable laminating machine, a person needs to select the one which they feel is able to fulfill their needs. These machines are not only used in large organizations but also in small offices and sometimes even at home. In places where the companies are required t make the identification cards and other important documents of people and laminate them as well, they might require a strong and large machine, which can cost up to thousands of dollars. A small laminating machine, on the other hand, is cheap and small and an individual can buy it easily. Amongst the different types of a laminating machine, there are pouch laminators, cold laminators, roll laminators and even hot laminators. These might have different features and thus their prices may vary accordingly.

Roll laminating machines are mostly used by large organization because they are able to and they can protect and cover documents of any size and they can also be trimmed once the lamination is done so that they their appearance could be enhanced. Instead of laminating one document, they can laminate several in a continuous manner. The pouch laminator is relatively smaller and thus could easily be carried from one place to the other. The pouch is where the document is placed which is then put inside a protective covering before it enters the machine. Even though hot laminators use heat to laminate papers but cold laminating machine is now a new concept that uses pressure instead of heat.

T-shirt Printing – How To Do It Yourself

If you’re considering to get T-shirt Printing for your project your are pursuing, there are few things you must think about before you start working on it. This post will explain your options how you can do it yourself and get custom printed T-shirts for your projects.

A major factor is what color of shirts should you use for the T-shirt Printing? There aren’t any main issues while you print on white T-shirts.

Although, while you’re doing custom printed t-shirts with light colored shirts keep in mind that there aren’t any white ink in the printer therefoe if you have an image with three person who are wearing white t-shirts and there’re white clouds above then each of the white areas in the picture will be the same color as your t-shirt. If you use light blue t-shirts in that case the t-shirts on the persons in yoru image and the clouds will be light blue.

Another aspect to think about while printing on light colored t-shirts is the ink of your printer would to some extent blend with your t-shirt’s color. Some times ago I printed light blue ink onto a bright yello shirt. Those areas became greenish. It is like when we’re child and would mix red with yellow crayons to make orange. This only happen with light ink colors on bright light colored t-shirts. The shading isn’t usually major but it is one thing to be careful about. Dark ink colors do not have this issue.

The t-shirt transfer paper you will buy will be for light or white color T-shirt Printing. If you need to print on any dark color or black t-shirt you will need to have t-shirt transfer paper which is specially made to be printed on dark colors. (more…)
