Laminators...Argh!

Are you in charge of the laminator at your school?

I am, but would gladly give that responsibility to someone else!

We are in year 6 here at our newest school and already looking at buying a new rubber roller for the 2nd time, for a Ledco laminator!

Due to the cost of these machines, before we decide to replace the rollers or look at investing in a different type of machine, I wanted to know if anyone has had great success with a particular model, etc. Has anyone used a cold press laminator? What do you do to cut down on breakdowns (in our case, usually from users not paying attention)? It doesn't matter how many tips I provide, it seems I am constantly unbinding the machine.

Any words of wisdom?

Thank you!
