Just a point of interest. I've had several things (not prints) heat laminated over the years. Some hi$$ at a fancy shop, some home heat set, one or two adhesive types. I'm not totally convinced I believe any of them can be considered a good thing from an archive standpoint. The only one that's done a good job was the really hi$$ job we had done on some maps for display.

Myron, Cibachrome prints are a great example of a image type that can benefit from a lamination. However it should be done right so as not to take away from the look and permanence that the print has to start with. Why laminate? To keep the moisture from going in and out of the print taking any tiny amounts of color, particularly Magenta, out of the print. With RC silver gelatin, one might want to keep the absorption of pollutants down to a minimum. I would use a non absorbing substrate too like plexi or aluminum. At to Crystal Clear? The manufacture should be able to answer that. Eric Neilsen 4101 Commerce Street, Suite 9 Dallas, TX 75226 214-827-8301
