Large Lamination Press
The press is used for lamination of any size object, from a small die cutout to a posterboard and more. We have two widths of lamination material, seal release paper, and a tacking iron for use with the lamination press. The press is kept on and hot during business hours.

Roller Laminator
The roller laminator is 18 inches wide, and is a quick and easy way to laminate smaller projects. The roller laminator is often kept turned off during business hours, so allow yourself 15 minutes after turning the machine on to run any projects through the machine.

Dry Mount Press
Smaller and kept cooler than the large lamination press, the dry mount press is set to the right temperature for dry mounting. We have two sizes of dry mount tissue, as well as a roll of tissue for larger projects. The dry mount press is kept hot during business hours. Seal release paper and a tacking iron are kept nearby to assist you.

Xyron 2500 Cold Laminator
The Xyron is a cold lamination device that gives the laminated image an adhesive back (like contact paper).

Ellison / Accu-cut Dies
The Ellison and Accu-cut dies cut shapes and letters from paper, posterboard, and other products (almost anything that scissors can cut). The ERC has a large variety of shapes, including animals, borders, symbols, letters, and continues to acquire new shapes. The ERC keeps both posterboard and construction paper in stock.

Backing Paper
The ERC has several colors of four-foot-wide backing paper from which to choose. It is mainly used for bulletin board backgrounds, but can be used for any number of projects.

Backing paper has color on only one side.

Comb Binder
We have three sizes of binder comb in stock (up to 7/8 inch) to bind your paper, project, or book. The binder machine punches holes in the side that allow the teeth of the comb to slip through easily. The wide ring of the comb allows the book to be opened flat on a table for easy viewing.

Tape Binder
The tape binder uses a hot adhesive tape to bind together a set of even-edged pages into a book. While a quicker process than comb-binding, the tape-bound books cannot open flat on a surface.

Computers with Color Printers
The ERC is home to 6 computers workstations. 2 PCs have CD burners, Windows XP and are connected to flat-bed scanners. The 3 IMacs have the OS X (Tiger), Micrsoft Office and are connect to Snap Scan PDF scanners. All computers are networked to a color laser printer and 1 PC is connected to a printer capable of printing up to an 11x17 page.

The ERC has software not available in most campus computer labs, which include Printshop V22, Adobe photo shop V 7.0, Inspirations 8.

Circulation Desk
The circulation desk is where you can check out books, pay for materials, or pick up holds and reserves.

Work Tables
Several large work tables allow you to spread out while working on your projects, or to work in a group.
