These are heatless and won t ruin the photos.

Can you laminate sonogram pictures.

Laminate the ultrasound photos using a heatless laminate to protect them. Also you shouldn t laminate the actual ultrasound. We used hot machines and those were on the list of stuff we weren t allowed to laminate. I have read a few things that said not to laminate ultrasound photos because the heat will turn them black.

If it is a heat acivated laminator it can actually screw up the image at least on some types of paper they use for the ultrasounds. The heat from the laminator will destroy the image as it will cause it to disappear. If you want to preserve a picture that might be handled quite a bit or exposed to liquids laminating it can be a great way to protect the image without compromising the quality of your photo. I actually tried to do copies.

Sonography is the use of an ultrasound tool for diagnostic purposes. Re how best to preserve ultrasound pictures anonymous i have not tried laminating it but since the image is formed through a process of heating the paper i think i think the heat from lamination would ruin the image. A sonogram is the picture that the ultrasound generates. Do not laminate ultrasound pictures.

To laminate your photos turn on the laminator and select the cold setting. I worked at a copy shop and laminated things all the time. If you re planning on laminating baby scans stop. It s best to keep ultrasound pictures out of heat of any sort to preserve it for as long as possible.

My mom needs copies of them to display at my baby shower this weekend. I ve also read to be careful making copies on a copier. Buy a pack of self laminating pages from an office store big box store or online. If you have a pouch laminator with a cold setting you can definitely use it to process your photographs.

With certain photos you might find laminating them a good plan as it keeps the quality as is. That way you can also have a digital copy in case something happens to the prints. You will need to use the cold setting because heat can damage the photos especially if they were printed on an ink jet printer. In short an ultrasound is the process while a sonogram is the end.

Have any of you made copies successfully.
