Document Finishing
The Center for Instruction, Research, and Technology group assists University
departments with document finishing such as lamination, dry-mounting, and trimming.
Posters and other printed work can be dry-mounted to board to make them more rigid.
Flat printed pieces can also be laminated with a thin plastic film for durability and
to create a water resistant surface. There are restrictions on various types of
materials and sizes that can be both laminated and mounted. IMDS is not responsible
for the damage to any provided artwork or materials.
