Ultrasound Pics - Safe Ways to Copy

in December 2011 Moms
Ok, this maybe a crazy question, but I had a friend who was told to laminate her u/s pic and it crumbled up, so can you make copies of it w/o destroying it?  This is my first preg and I want a cute way to tell my parents and my in laws and after reading a couple of posts, I decided I might incorporate the pics.  TIA

    If the ultrasound pic paper is flimsy like mine I'd suggest you photocopy it onto regular paper and then laminate the copy.

    Scan it, then have it printed on photo paper.

    Yes, my Belly Book Journal recommended making copies for longevity since the paper they print it on usually fades.  I was able to pretty successfully scan mine so the photo copier thingies at Target and Walmart should work well.

    This is what I did last time.  Worked like a charm and I now have them on my computer too.  :)

    Also you shouldn't laminate the actual ultrasound. If it is a heat acivated laminator, it can actually screw up the image (at least on some types of paper they use for the ultrasounds). You should copy it with a flatbed scanner at home or somewhere like walmart. That way you can also have a digital copy in case something happens to the prints.
