Laminate a Transparency?

Leoness asked:


I need to laminate a transparency…because what I’m laminating is see-through only. When I do it on my old laminator its EXTREMELY bubbly. Is it because of my machine or is it like this with all plastic on plastic laminations.
It has to be laminated. Its not for an overhead. I’m making a “guidline” of sorts and it has to be rigid. Thanks!

    You probably should not laminate a transparency in the first place because probably won’t project well. The best thing would be to reproduce the transparency on a copy machine using a blank transparency if you plan to use it again as a transparency.

    Laminators are meant to work with paper because it can take the heat. Transparencies can’t take the heat.

    If you are just trying to protect the transparency, you might consider a sheet protector.
