Laminating

Why wait 24 hours before laminating?

This is the single most important step, and the one most people skip.

The print will feel dry within minutes, but the ink is still absorbing into the paper coating underneath for up to 24 hours. If you laminate too early, trapped moisture causes bubbling, cloudy patches, adhesion failure or ink that smudges under the laminate.

Wait the full 24 hours. It's the difference between bookmarks that look professional and bookmarks that look ruined.
