Cold laminating to acrylic - making holes in the photo paper

[mark707]

Hi all,

Does anyone have any advice how to make holes in photo paper to allow the chrome fixing bolt through the paper and mounting holes?  I have tried using a punch but the paper is forced away from the acrylic.  I am thinking about drilling but I think I may have the same problem!

Many thanks for any info.

you punching from the front side?  Haven't done it (maybe others have, but seems punching or drilling from the paper side might work, also you might be able to use a template to cut the print and remove that portion before you drill it.

 I think I'd try drilling the holes before I removed the protective paper and mount the print after, then just trim the print from the hole.
