    Hi all,
    I am pretty much new to this forum and the world of printing, so i am just wondering if anybody can help me with something.

    I am looking for a machine that can laminate or coat printed photos papers in gloss/matte finish. However i will need the finished product to be flexible enough to be folded and not damaging the printed photos because i will be binding them into book.

    so far by searching the net most info are pointing to use a roll laminator with 35micron film. Just wondering what your thoughts are

    FYI, I print by using Epson 7900

    regards

    Use the uv coater is more better than the laminator.

    you can contact with Pressroom Graphics Pty Ltd in Australia for more information about the uv coater

    Personally, I would UV Coat the photo's using a Tec Lighting Xtra Coat Mini UV Coater. This will give you the flexibility that you would not get if you laminated the photo's. You can get the UV liquid in either Hi-gloss, satin, or matte finishes. I hope this helps out!
