Yea 99% of stickers I print on the colorado I don't laminate. 6 mil matte vinyl with gloss print looks so good. Everyone loves the stickers But there are customers that want laminated because they heard it's better even though in practice on a handout type sticker it makes no difference.

Wouldn't laminating give it more UV resistance? Even if the inks super good at lasts 10 years in laminated... Laminate should add a few years to that.

Haven't looked at how fade-proof Colorado ink is... But I feel like I'd laminate everything with a UV laminate just because.

Good way to turn it form gloss to matte if nothing else.

The answer we all want right?

It's all Marketing.
Advertising, Social media - being social.
E.g, how do we know FireSprint exist here ?
1. they advertise on the forum
2. they're very social.

I find laminating UV prints with gloss laminate unsatisfactory. I use substance vinyl and laminate, and a GFP laminator with heat assist. I find the laminate conforms a bit too much to the UV print leaving ridges and valleys that are very visible when viewed at an angle. Laminating with matte laminate works well, it's only glossy that has this problem. I just had an expert in to create profiles for my UV printer, so I'm pretty confident that ink limits are accurate.

Does anyone else have this experience or any advice on how to avoid the problem?
