Ah yes, photo laminator & printer fuser unit are pretty much the same thing.

Modifying a photo laminator will work, the one on the Pulsar website is a
modified GBC model.  Some of these laminators are a bit low in temperature,
and the feed rate is too high.  The Pulsar one has had the gearing changed
to slow it down, but still needs a few passes to get the toner to stick
properly (I think, could be wrong here).  Also, the rollers may be set to
fixed width, too narrow to take a PCB.

Pulling the fuser out of a defunct printer/copier is for the more
enthusiastic, but may actually involve less effort in the end.  Certainly
cheaper.
