Ink jet   and dye sublimation, as well as traditional methods of printing photos   will each benefit from some form of protection from the elements.    Sunlight, chemicals like the acid residue found on most papers and   temperature extremes can cause pictures to fade, discolor.<\/p>\n<p>Coatings can be applied to the finished photo, which will put a  well  distributed coating of a chemical base on the surface of your   photograph , which dries to a thin film to protect your photograph. The  protective  film is not thick enough to protect the photo against  water  damage or acid residue, but provides a degree of protection  against  fingerprints and ultraviolet damage.<\/p>\n<p>Albums also provide reasonable protection for photos \u2013 so long as   they are stored in a temperature controlled, dry place..  Albums   provide great protection with acid free paper and thin film pages, but   do not protect against humidity or water damage.<\/p>\n<p>For the ultimate in protection, consider <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lloydsofindiana.com\/lamination\/\" class=\"broken_link\">laminating<\/a> your  photographs.  Lamination protects against high light, humidity,   chemicals, fingerprints (you can actually wash a laminated picture with   soap and water) and nearly any other environmental factor.  Laminating   works by encasing the photo in a transparent plastic shell.  The degree   of protection provided by photo laminating can be adjusted by altering   the thickness of the laminate used.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lloydsofindiana.com\/laminating-supplies\/\" target=\"_self\">supplies<\/a> necessary to protect your photographic memories with  lamination are minimal.  Usually all it takes is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lloydsofindiana.com\/pouch-laminators\/\" target=\"_self\">pouch laminating  machine<\/a>, and special photo <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lloydsofindiana.com\/laminating-pouches\/\" target=\"_self\">pouches<\/a>.    Photo laminating pouches such as  LoydsofIndiana.com\u2019s PhotoPouch  brand are specially sized and  formulated to work with traditional  photograph prints as well as  inkjet, laser prints and dye sublimation  prints.  PhotoPouches will  protect your professional or personal  quality photographs, are easy to  use and provide for your photos  protection at a cost that is more than  reasonable for home or business  use. Laminating machines can be  purchased which will coat and seal  photographs up to 13 inches in  width.  The machines themselves are easy  to use.<\/p>\n<p>The cost to laminate your photos will be about 10 cents per photo,   which seems a very small price to pay for the peace of mind you get   back knowing your business or home photos are protected from the   elements that might damage or destroy them.  In comparison to losing   the photo of a lifetime, or losing critical photographic evidence makes   that 10 cent investment seem tiny.<\/p>\n<p>PhotoPouch brand laminating pouches are exclusively available from   Lloyd\u2019s of Indiana (www.lloydsofindiana.com) and select distributors.    Lloyd\u2019s can provide for your laminating needs with machinery and photo   pouch supplies, purchased from an easy to search web site which will   keep track of your cumulative orders and any discounts you may have   coming, to assure that not only your photos are protected, but so is   your time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There are as many ways to print your photos as there are photos themselves, and likewise, nearly as many ways to preserve them.
