Digital BW, The Print

Why doesn't anyone laminate their prints? I've asked about it 
before and got no reply. Do you have an opinion on it? Has anyone 
tried it? It's done a lot with outdoor color inkjet-wide format and 
such but I see nothing about it here. Can anyone tell me why? Does it 
suck, not work, look lame, cheap? Anyone? Anyone?


Thanks, I feel so much better after a good rant.
