Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Xyron XRN900 9-Inch Creative Station Multi Function Crafting System
Customer Review: A pretty good craft tool.
Summary: 5 Stars
If I could, I would change my rating to 3 stars instead of 5.
I've owned this item for over three years now.
Pros:
The variety of things you can do with this machine are amazing. Make magnets, make stickers, and laminate with no heat! Simple design means no batteries, no need to plug in, just grab it and go. This has been great for craft projects with kids, scrapbooking, and protecting keepsakes. As long as you are working with flat, smooth items, it works consistently well.
Cons;
Cartridges are expensive, so use a coupon when possible.
Fabric appliques didn't work, in that fabric items didn't stick well, and the thickness of the fabric caused material to wrinkle.
The magnet cartridge laminates the front of the item, and puts sticky thin magnetic material on the back of the item as it goes through the roller. When making magnets, I found the magnetic material too thin- and sometimes because it is so thin, it isn't powerful enough to hold things up. It also is so thin it makes it very difficult to get the magnet off a surface if you have made a sticker out of something thin (like a photo.) Don't try to make a magnet out of anything too thick though, or it will wrinkle the laminate on the front and be ruined. I have been able to remove the front laminate, but it took parts of the project with it because it is very sticky.
It claims you can trim magnets right up to the edge, but I have found this is not a good idea with slightly thicker items (like about the thickness of a credit card without the numbers on it.) The slight "height" of the item creates a small gap between where the laminate and magnetic material come together around the outside of the object.
2-sided laminate cartridge; good as long as you are laminating flat, smooth objects. Watch out if you get a bad cartridge, or try to laminate something a little thick or uneven. It will form wrinkles as it laminates, and that will ruin your project permanently. It's impossible to get the laminate apart unless there are air pockets.
We used it to laminate autumn leaves we collected as souvenirs from a trip to Vermont. The stems of the leaves proved to be "too thick" and caused the laminate to wrinkle. We tried laminating fresh flower petals to preserve their color, and won't ever try it again! Next time we will use dried, pressed flower petals. The fresh flower petals are too "thick" and get scraped off or moved around by the cartridge frame that nearly comes in contact with the item being laminated. Flower petals we did manage to laminate had small air pockets around them and began to rot within a week, turning brown and moldy inside the laminate. We even tried laminating the fresh flower petals between two pieces of clear protective sheets, only to have the air pockets again, which allow petals to move around, and again, rot.
Haven't tried the temporary adhesive cartridge.
Description of Xyron XRN900 9-Inch Creative Station Multi Function Crafting System
Create stickers, magnets or laminate items in the amount of time it takes to turn the handle on the XRN900 9-inch Creative Station. Interchangeable cartridges pop in and out in seconds and store easily when not in use. Perfect for crafters, parents, schools, office use, group projects and in-store promotions. Make stickers and magnets up to 9-inches wide. Keep recipes, business cards, IDs and more from getting dirty or bent with the laminate. Laminate adheres smoothly and evenly to both sides without the use of electricity or heat. Stickers can even be made out of intricate items like lace doilies. The adhesive sticks to the design without leaving a residue in the cut out areas. Combination refill cartridges allow for applying laminate to one side of a project and magnet or acid-free adhesive to the other side without heat, warm up time, or any sticky mess. Also available is an acid-free repositionable adhesive cartridge which allows you to place, remove and re-place items on any project. For smaller projects look for the XRN510 5-inch Creative Station and for larger projects choose Creatopia by Xyron which works with items up to 12-inches wide and up to 1/2-inch thick.Kitchen and Housewares
