When you need to laminate photos you can use a regular laminating machine as long as the laminating machine has a cold setting on it.
The heat from the laminating machines is what damages photos but if you can laminate it using a cold setting on it then the regular laminate machine will work just fine.
The laminating machine I have and have used for laminating photos is the Nuova LM990HC Hot & Cold Laminator
It works great for laminating both documents and photos.
Just be sure to use the cold setting on the laminator machine for the photos.
