Although this process is sometimes overlooked,
the Hot Press range of laminates has many
benefits that can yield higher value orders for
framers, photographers and print shops. All Hot Press laminates contain UV
inhibitors to increase the fade resistance of the
artwork.. They are also unbreakable, easy to keep
clean and come in a variety of popular finishes.

GLOSS (LUSTRE) 50µ
The most popular heatseal laminate, this film offers a unique finish
that conforms to the surface it is pressed against (under heat). The
normal result is a lustre finish transferred from the surface of the foam
blanket in the press, but other textures can easily be applied. This film
is also used as the top coating when prints are bonded to canvas. Pre-Pierced. |
