Lamination usually goes hand in hand with large format printing. Since most papers are delicate and not waterproof, lamination is a great way to finish and protect your project. Gloss and satin are the most common surfaces.
Lamination is a clear polyester based film that is applied with heat and pressure for best adhesion.
It is popular mainly because of its high quality and low price. Our standard films for gloss and satin are 3mil thickness for mounted prints and 5mil for unmounted. The gloss provides enhanced bright colors and a glass-like finish. Satin provides less glare without dulling the image. All lamination on unmounted prints allow the print to be rolled for shipping.
