I think so, I dont think they are silly dear, its something I looked at a couple of years ago, but things happened and I went in a different direction. They are a beautiful premium product when done correctly. Laminator wise I would go as big as my printer could produce.

Doesn't sound much for a product range with the potential earnings these have. Some lovely ways of displaying them on a wall too.

Good luck.

Still playing with this, need a thinner photo paper and have to get the laminator.

I need 20mm acrylics for this. Always worth looking at other laminate! Do you sell this?

Have you not tried polypropylene paper you will get fantastic results with it, most photo papers have a texture and leave silvering. Yes we sell all you would need polypropylene paper, laminate, and 15mm and 20mm blocks. Let me know if you would like a sample.

Wooers1, you seem to know a bit about acryllic...

I am looking for a .5mm Heat Resistant acryllic that I can direct print on to. Ideally would like something that I can cut easily either with scissors or a cheap laser cutter.

Any ideas?
