What is lamination?
Quite often we were asked, what is lamination? To laminate is to bond a thin layer of transparent plastic film over printed materials such as cards or paper, in our case it is normally book covers to enhance the appearance, strengthen and prevent them from scratches, stains, moisture and/or anything that will shorten the useful life of the covers. Lamination can be done on one or both sides using either gloss or matte plastic films.
How to ensure that the lamination is good and lasting on digital book covers?
Digital printing and offset printing have 2 different characteristics. Digital toner stays on top of the printed materials while solvent ink is absorbed by the printed materials. Thus, when laminating on digital print, we are actually laminating on the toner instead of the paper. If the density of the background is 100% black, blue, red, etc the laminating film may not stick so well and it may peel off later. Sometimes air bubble will appear between the lamination film and printed materials. If the density of the colour is less than 40%, the effect of lamination over the printed materials will be better as the coverage is at least 60%. The curling effect on soft cover is due to the heat that is applied during the laminating process.
