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. When prints are laminated and mounted to foam board extra rigidity is provided to the otherwise fragile board. Highest quality and durability is assured.
