p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Lamination or coating ?


What is the best surface/UV protection for prints: Hot vacuum lamination, cold lamination or coating?
What is common best for paper and canvas?
I am heard 'Hot glass vacuum press' method is best. How you rate this method?

Pros and cons of lamination vs coating?

Please suggest good, cost-effective brands of machines, materials etc.

Thanks in advance,
Sunny Alan

I wonder why nobody touching this topic. Is it because it is an irrelevant, unworthy subject or not many are experienced or it is discussed in volume earlier?
(If any thread, kindly give me a link...)

Tried a reply yesterday but it got "hot keyed" to oblivion.

I have never heard of hot vacuum lamination, so I am curious. But i also never put a shiny surface on my images, not glass, not plex and not even glossy or semi glossy papers. Too much reflection.

I just can't trust any adhesive placed on the face of my prints. No adhesive is permanent.

I've used coatings, and they too have their issues, but there are coatings that have passed the test for archival use.

I think the lack of response is that most people don't laminate or coat
