Maker and model of the laminator?

It's a Bonsaii A3 laminator, when I click the amazon link it shows the smaller A4 version for some reason:

Since my laser printer is A4 I'm mostly printing A4 pages anyway, but the A3 size is nice for laminating WoTC poster battle maps - typically I cut them in 2 or 4, laminate then tape back together so they can fold away smallish. It's also possible to put two A3 pouches over a map up to 12"x36" for a single long strip of terrain.

Here's Bonsaii's US page http://bonsaii.com/country/us/product_Laminator.html
It's the only laminator I've used, it works great (& was very cheap) but no reason to think others don't too. The real work is being done by the laminating pouches. One thing I've noticed is that with larger print sizes it's best to use the thick-pouch (higher heat) setting, otherwise it may cool off too much during lamination & you get imperfectly laminated pockets.

Thanks man!

For maps I'm thinking on making some of my own, maybe printing them in some sort of canvas to be able to roll them. But this is an interesting option. It can also come in handy for my paper minis.
