Home Laminating 13 inch prints

[Markeau]

I'm wanting to get a home (pouch) laminator to protect up to 13 inch
prints from my Canon i9900 printer. I have seen reasonably priced
pouch laminators that have a 13.5 inch throat which seems to be big
enough to properly laminate a 13 inch print - it seems to properly
laminate that size and seal the edges the pouch would have to be over
13 inches in size, ie use a 13.5 inch pouch. BUT, I cannot seem to
locate SATIN pouches that size (I don't want to use the standard
glossy/shiny type). Any ideas/tips/etc?

Can't you get wide format satin laminating film on a roll and cut down?...

Personally I hate laminating. It should never be used for anything
important.
