Hi All,

I'm not normally a big poster, but I came across this today and wanted to share the link for anyone else who might be interested.

This place is selling a Brother Backster LX570 Multi-Finish Laminator (W/ No-Heat Technology, Cutter, & 10 Bonus Cartridges) for $19.99 + free shipping.

I found it through deals.woot.com, and I've never heard of Ben's Outlet as a store, but the model seems just like the one mentioned in the label FAQ thread if not a bit better.  It's only $20 so I figured I'd give it a whirl, they've got PayPal checkout so if the item never arrives at least I can get my money back.

OR

Also, another person in the woot thread mentions they were able to use the Xylon cartridges with this machine as well, so it looks like a cool option for cheaper carts.

Just got a confirmation mine was shipping, so seems legit.  Once it comes I'll let everyone know how it turns out :)

Well, just got mine today!  I got the maker with starter adhesive roll, then 10 other cartridges of misc type. 

My carts were:
1 Re-positionable adhesive
3 permanent adhesive
6 magnetic backed

Gave it a whirl with a scrap and it seems to work fine to me.  I was really hoping I'd get a laminate with adhesive backing cart, but I guess I'll just try to use a heavy duty gloss paper with the permanent adhesive, either that or look for a laminate/adhesive cart someplace else.

Up next, refurbishing up a Link's Awakening cart!
