This seems to be the best newsgroup for my question:

I've got a Xerox solid ink printer and if I try and laminate any output
the heat from the laminator makes the ink run a bit, anyone got a
solution?

Thanks.
 
This might not be useful, but there are lamination films that use adhesive
rather than heat.

Thanks for the idea, but being a bit tight fisted the cold laminates are
more expensive!

My laminator has a temperature control on the bottom, I've had to
reduce the temperature to prevent wrinkling of the plastic. You may
be able to reduce the temperature to a point where it just doesn't
melt the ink.

I've turned the temperature to minimum printing onto cheaper paper,
hoping the ink will sink a bit further into the paper, shoved a second
piece of paper in with the laminate then using a carrier and two pieces
of paper inside the carrier surrounding the laminate. Doing all that it
nearly works but with a little bit of smudging.
