Orajet 3651 transparent as an overlaminate???

[RG]

I have a roll of Orajet 3651 transparent vinyl that I rarely use. Wondering if it would be OK to use it as an over laminate for digital, inkjet prints? Or, is that a bad idea?

It would only provide a measure of abrasion resistance. Zero UV resistance.

Don't do it, I tried this once when i ran out of lam. within a year it had pulled back in to about 95% of the print size and left a nice brown strip of adhesive all the way around the job.

That doesn't even make sense. 3651 matched with 3651 should not shrink at different rates.

To the OP, I don't see why it wouldn't work. Done it before in a pinch. Don't expect ANY UV resistance, and might be slightly cloudier than laminate, but for like cranking out coro signs and such it'd probably work just fine.

Thanks for all of your comments. Guess I'll use it sparingly.
