Lamination
Lamination makes the original digital printed signs more stronger and more durable. The purpose of  lamination or finishing wide format digital prints is both to protect and enhance the printed image. Most of us have an idea of what lamination is even if you have observed it a few times. Primarily lamination of  digital prints and signs is required to protect signs and give them longer life expectancy. For example, UV inks used in digital printing have a life time of about 3 years before they begin to fade without lamination. But a laminate can give them an additional 2 to 3 years without fading.
 Restaurant menus are a common example. A plastic finish is placed over the menu to protect it from food and stains. You can laminate just about anything that is flat. If it needs to be protected and reused, it is something to consider for lamination. All of our signs can be laminated, but the reasons are varied and not all signs should be laminated.
A number of our customers have fondly taken to our lamination. They  have engineering plans, tables, or other diagrams printed on almost any of our substrates (for example, PVC or aluminum). Once we cover them with lamination, it allows the users to mark up the signs with dry erase ink which can easily be wiped off. It is wonderful for talks and demonstrations.

We like to encourage our customers to laminate the digital signs we produce, because it protects the inks from abrasions – the roads constantly kick up dirt and dust which strike the signs. You should also consider laminates for signs that are frequently taken down and put back up. Real estate signs are a perfect example. They can come easily scratched without lamination. The user can also roll the sign up after meetings and reuse it without fear of the sign getting warned out.
And finally, we like to use laminates because they give the sign a nice professional finish. There are two basic types of finishes that can be achieved from laminate: matte and gloss. Matte finishes look a bit granular and are not reflective, but they tend to make colors on the sign more striking and vivid longer durability. In contrast, gloss finishes are reflective and tend to make bright colors radiate with strong definition.
