Poster Maker Testimonials

"I just had to take a moment to let you know that we have discovered another wonder of the world: the Poster Maker and Cold Laminator! There isn't a day that goes by since we purchased the equipment that we don't say, 'How did we get along without it?' "

"There are many positive comments we can make about the Varitronics Poster Maker but one that we appreciate the most is how easy and convenient it is to use. Even with all the different options, it is quite user-friendly."

"Saint Louis Community College at Forest Park Media Services Department has been using a Varitronics "Pro Image" PosterPrinter since 1990. It has been the single most reliable piece of equipment we have ever purchased. Since that time the only thing we needed to replace was the paper cutter. The PosterPrinter gets used every day by various departments on the Forest Park Campus and everyone likes the fact that they can bring their 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper down and instantly make a poster that fits their needs. The PosterPrinter is easy to use and very convenient for the staff and faculty when they are in a rush for a poster.

Recently we have replaced the Varitronics "Pro Image" with the new 2006 model and have added a few new components to it. The Design Center is a big hit with the faculty and staff and gives their posters a more professional look. We have also added the Awards Maker. This component is great for the Physical Education department and with Student Activities. It is easy to use and really looks professional and we have lots of fun making the awards for the different departments. The old PosterPrinter was great but since we have purchased the 2006 model we can't believe we lived without it all these years.

Thank you Varitronics, for all the years of exceptional service to our campus and the ease of use of your equipment."

"We couldn't be happier. Our school's recent purchase of a Varitronics Poster Maker 3600 has enabled our teachers to prepare specific, write-on, teaching posters to significantly enhance their instruction. From labeling parts of a plant to write-on maps, the instructional use is limitless. Teachers also use it to make posters of classroom rules and procedures, word lists, problem solving models, and many other year round teaching visuals. Our PTO officers have used it to make posters announcing special events and activities. The machine has given us the opportunity to immediately get an 8 1/2" x 11" master design made into a poster size attention getter, fast! Thanks to our wonderful PTO for funding this purchase. We are still discovering new uses for the Poster Maker 3600."

"We are currently using our Poster Maker to make inspirational posters to hang in our hallways. We have a different character theme for each month and have made separate posters stating those themes. It is a good reminder for the students throughout the month. Some of these include: 'Honesty,' 'Cooperation,' 'Tolerance,' and 'Commitment.'

The teachers are also making posters to cover various subject matters and projects. This really helps get the point across to the students. The teachers love it!

The posters give us a finished, professional look."

"I just wanted to write and tell you how excited I am to have just purchased the new VariQuest Poster Maker 3600. I am upgrading from an older model and really appreciate some of the modifications on the new machine. Our DECA Chapter uses the poster machine as a fundraising tool and we are looking forward to helping other organizations and teachers here at Timberland.

… the new design software is great. It takes about ten minutes to be able to create anything you need. The templates are great and easy to use no matter what your level of computer skill. I am truly impressed with the speed at which I was able to produce banners and posters the very first time I used the printer.

In short, I am very happy with the VariQuest 3600. I just received an order this morning for 15 posters after an administrator saw the quality of the materials we can produce."

"The Poster Maker and other machines used with the Design Center have opened up the possibilities of our programming efforts and given us an avenue to be unique and innovative in our staff meetings, training sessions, and campus wide committees. From day one we have been using the Poster Maker for enlarging small flyers to large posters and every day find a new way to utilize this piece of equipment. When using the Poster Maker we have seen an increase in attendance at programs and enlargement at meetings, something we never would have expected... Thank you for the opportunity to benefit from a quality product."

"The PosterPrinter has become an integral vehicle to post student results as we monitor progress in achievement and behavior.

In order to help make our strategic plan visible to our students, staff and community, we have made posters of our mission, goals and pledge which are posted throughout the school. Classroom mission posters are proudly displayed in each classroom.

Making our goals and results visible to everyone who enters our school is the biggest need our PosterPrinter fulfills. It assists us as we strive to have our progress and results apparent.

We felt that the PosterPrinter would be a valuable tool to help us live our mission, so we funded it through our school budget. It has proven to be invaluable."

"The ease and simplicity of the PosterPrinter is amazing. I can design and print a poster as easy as designing a memo to my teachers. The teachers of our school love using the PosterPrinter to print posters relating to various classroom topics, as well as on bulletin boards for a very professional look. I enjoy using it for a variety of reasons including: reminding staff of important meetings, inviting parents to community events and publicizing school events for our students."

"Meadowview School is absolutely delighted with our Poster Maker. We use it to enlarge and post many of the graphic organizers we have developed over the years to help students with problem solving, reading and writing. Previously this meant many hours of pasting together many parts to make a large poster. Now we create a standard 8 x 11 that we provide to new teachers, so that we are all on the same page when it comes to modeling and presentation."

"I would like to tell you how happy my staff and I are with our PosterPrinter. My teachers use the PosterPrinter to enlarge charts, graphs, classroom rules and creative projects made by students. We recently used the PosterPrinter to enlarge the names of local businesses who contributed to our Walk-A-Thon for a school in Mississippi. … The PosterPrinter allows us to enlarge all kinds of projects that can easily be seen by everyone in the room and school. The PosterPrinter is a valuable teaching aid for my staff. It's hard to believe we have gone this many years without one!!"

"Your support staff recently provided preventative maintenance to our system. The service was scheduled to our convenience and the representative presented herself in a very professional manner. When contacting Varitronics by phone for supply orders or technical support, we receive prompt and courteous service. Our orders are shipped without delay. Merton Community School District thanks you for your excellent product and service."

"The use of the PosterPrinter in combination with the Cold Laminator allows students to write on the posters and share their ideas. The posters can then be reused. The PosterPrinter ensures that all of our classrooms have access to the same materials in a large, easy-to-read format. The students at our school have benefited from consistency in the teaching of ideas and strategies, and the level of student learning has increased. The entire school community has enjoyed the large, colorful posters announcing events and activities."

"Our school has been using our Poster Maker in several different ways:

• Teachers made posters of important things they wanted parents to know at our Curriculum Night
• Teachers have been making posters of study habits to post, so students have constant reminders
• Teachers have made visual-aids for resources in their classroom

This is just a beginning list, which we hope to expand upon in the months to come. The Poster Maker has been a great added addition to our equipment list. Teachers have been able to take their own resources and enlarge them for everyone to see. The cold laminator works wonders to preserve these resources, so they can be used in the future."

"Since our training last Wednesday, I have already made 20 posters for our math teachers and they love them! I made charts to show students how math is used in everyday life and also math in careers. They were laminated and posted in different parts of the school. … I love your products and look forward to making many more items for our school."
