Laminating can help somewhat in preserving your image from the sun, though a good pigmented ink is essential. If you use a pigmented solvent-based ink then you can escape lamination. Downside is that pigmented solvent-based inks tend to be used in printers with Xaar piezo heads. These are low dpi heads, nothing like the nice output from Epson piezo heads in Roland, Mutoh, Mimaki or Epson printers.
