It's here! The new laminator
The new laminator, a GBC HeatSeal Ultima 65, has arrived in the IRC and is ready for use. Similar to the laminators in several neighboring school districts, this machine not only has several safety features in place, but also offers a quieter laminating process.
Process differs slightly in that lighter weight items (copy paper and construction paper) should be fed through more quickly than heavier items (file folders and poster board). Please ask for help when using this machine for the first time.
