If you are curious about the Xyron Creative Station 900 laminator or you recently bought one and are trying to figure out how to use your new system, you need to educate yourself about the types of cartridges available for this product. There are several of these available and they can all provide you with different results. Here s what you can get and what they can do.
* Two Sided Laminate. This cartridge should be used when you want to laminate both sides of your document. You can laminate just about anything you want as long as it s no wider than 8.5 inches, so let your imagination be your guide. Some possibilities include your son or daughter s school projects, business cards, newspaper articles, and more.
* Permanent Adhesive. Permanent adhesive is great to use when you want a really strong bond for your project, especially if you are working with materials such as metal or fabric. This cartridge will coat one side of your item from edge to edge with a high quality permanent glue. You can apply this adhesive to items that are up to 9 inches wide.
* Repositionable Adhesive. This adhesive should be used when you anticipate wanting or needing to remove and re apply your item, whether it s a scrapbook page, sticker, or anything else. The adhesive in this cartridge won t leave a mark either, even if you place your object on a window or wooden surface.
* Laminate/Repositionable Adhesive. Do you need to both laminate your document and apply adhesive to it? If so, this is the cartridge for you. This cartridge will provide your document with a smooth, glossy look on the front and make it possible for you stick your item wherever you need it.
* Laminate/Permanent Adhesive. This is very similar to the cartridge listed above, except this time the adhesive is permanent. Both this cartridge and the laminate/repositionable adhesive one are perfect for making stickers and preparing photos for scrapbooking.
* Laminate/Magnet. Does it seem baffling that a machine that applies laminate and adhesive to documents can also create magnets that can be stuck on the refrigerator door or inside a locker? Don t worry because making magnets is super easy, thanks to this cartridge. It operates on the same principle as the other ones, except instead of apply laminate or glue to your project, it applies a magnetic backing. This cartridge is the one to use if you want to create great magnets to give away as gifts, and you can also make documents such as To Do lists magnetic, which can help you stay on track and organized.
Finally, all of the adhesives used in these cartridges are acid free, so they won t affect the integrity of your project. These cartridges are easy to install and can be quickly changed in case you need to switch from, say, laminating to magnet making in a matter of mere minutes.
It s very easy to get creative with the Xyron Creative Station 900 especially when you know what all the different cartridges can do. Now that you know all about them, go out there and start crafting!
