Lamination preserves your letters, posters, clippings, art, ect. by sealing it in plastic.
Normal bond typing paper works the best.
Papers of similar thickness and texture will laminate well. Paper that is coated in such a way that the surface is very shiny or exceedingly smooth may not laminate well, as the film has nothing to grab onto to make a good seal. Thicker stock paper, rough cut or cardboard often curls slightly under the laminator s heat and the thickness does not permit a strong seal. Also, special papers that are heat treated or sensitized will run or white out under the laminator s intense heat. Again, anything that is susceptible to heat should be avoided.
