There are different lamination films: some of them have a slight bit of texture in them and 
should be avoided. I've only used the glossy ones without texture. I don't mind the 
glossiness, as I reason that it's better than having to frame prints under glass. My feeling is 
that the blacks are also much deeper and the print richer than using spray.
