The only lamination is the backdrop to the styrene. Nothing covers the backdrop itself. The backdrop is printed on a heavy paper from TracksideScenery.com. The print/sign shop uses a machine to mount it to the styrene, and there's an adhesive "sheet" that goes between the backdrop and styrene. That's it. The backdrop itself is otherwise unmodified/unaltered. The photo paper the backdrop is printed on has a matte finish. Joey Ricard, the proprietor, can give you more detailed information on the backdrops themselves, the finish, etc. In my experience as a customer, he's a stand-up guy, easy to work with, and is very accommodating.
I am going to have my own photos printed. If they can laminate photo paper to styrene, I believe I'll use this method. Any Idea how large they can laminate?
It probably depends on the shop, but the guys I use here locally have mounted 30" x 96" backdrops for me without blinking an eye. Look for a place that does more than just printing - wraps, signage, displays, etc. That's what these guys do. Chris
