Laminator for Game Labels
xelement5x:
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.

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!
