Yes, let me see the photo's

What puts me off doing it is all the chemicals. But first i will
check out the laminator idea.

A question for anyone using a laminator. I see that most people that
are using a laminator are using some sort of gloss inkjet paper and
not press n peel, how good are the results with press n peel ?

Also what paper are the guys in the UK using, i have found that
staples have a similar paper to the Basic injet gloss that i have
seen in some us sites, is this the same paper ?
