I've done that with good results. Paradoxically, the best way to get a nice glossy laminated print is to use matte-finish paper--the lamination will make the final product glossy, and matte-finish papers are far less likely to get air bubbles trapped between the paper and the laminate. Also, make sure you allow the prints to dry for at least 24 hours before laminating them, or you'll have problems with the laminate separating from the paper. The thermal lamination is much preferable to the cold adhesive-based lamination.
