I know that laminating film comes in different finishes. What are they, and what is the difference between them?
Laminating films are available in several finishes: glossy, matte, satin and scratch-resistant. Glossy provides a glass-like appearance to finished documents. Matte has a slightly granular texture, which is frosted to reduce glare. Because of the rougher surface, matte films accept pencil, pen and marker, and reduce smudging. Satin is delustered and also reduces glare. It is not as frosted as the matte finish, but will accept some pencil, pen or marker. Scratch-resistant finishes consist of a super-hard polyester base formulated to virtually eliminate incidental contact scratches and marks on laminated documents.
