laminating pictures

[hotchef23]

quick question has anyone done this and does it cause issues with the print? reason being wanting to sell some concert pictures, and need them to put up on a board, but dont wnat sticky fingers all over the image.

will the laminating destroy the picture?

thanks
Eric

Nope. Laminators work fine with a print. Make sure it is well dried though. If I'm going to do any of mine I print one day and laminate the next and that works fine.

If you are talking about traditional glossy photos then you need a heated roller type laminator, not a much cheaper hot plate laminator.
