Laminating
(Cold) Laminate: This pressure sensitive polycarbonate over laminate has been chosen by the photo and digital imaging industries as the laminate of choice for producing indestructible graphics. The unique adhesive utilized on this product eliminates tunneling and delaminating when rolling prints for transport.
(Hot) Laminate: This laminate is applied using heat and pressure—the laminate is literally melted to the image—resulting in a perfect physical & optical bond. This, in conjunction with 85% UV light filtering, enhances and protects the life of your images for years. Hot laminates can have an edge seal which means there is about a 1/8″ border of laminate left around the graphic; this ensures better moisture resistance for the graphic.
Both laminates come in either a Luster or Gloss Finish.
