About Laminating
All of my images, (even
8x10's and 16x20's) are professionally laminated with "matte"
finish. It resists glare, fingerprints and smudges and can even be
cleaned using a soft cloth without, damaging the the material. The
process applies the laminate using temperatures in excess of 200
degrees F. The "real" value in this laminate is that it has a high
U.V. protection factor, which will preserve the image for years to
come. I have learned throughout my years as a photographer that any
standard photograph will shift colors or fade with age. The
laminate will prevent this from happening, yet preserves,
encapsulates and (some say it even enhances) the image. Many
of my Art Show customers have said, "I want to reach out and touch
it." when they first see some of my larger works. I say, "go ahead,
you can't hurt it."
