Laminating Ink Jet Prints

2004-02-11 by ms.photolists

I asked a couple of days ago about peoples experiences of laminating ink jet
prints.  Unfortunately I didn't get too many replies.  So I have been trying
a couple of experiments, which unfortunately have not been very promising!

The pictures I am working with are B/O prints on Epson Archival Matte Paper.
Today I tried a Rexel LM50 Laminator (mid range-hot).  Unfortunately where
there is a lot of ink (black areas) it appears that the laminate does not
stick to the paper and small bubbles form.

I have been asked for two copies of an exhibition (60 prints) but because of
the venues I can not screw frames to the walls so I am beginning to panic!
Any experiences or alternative methods of showing prints would be much
appreciated.

Thanks.
