What we were doing was to print onto canvas using a 9600 and then stretch the finished canvas (unsealed, untreated with anything) onto wooden stretchers. What we found was that the the image layer cracked badly when stretched round the corners of the stretcher. Using rounded corners on the wooden frame didn't help. The cracking was very localised and only appeared 3-4 mm around the corners, but it was bloody ugly and really spoilt the effect. Haven't tried the sealing approach; might be worth a punt. How badly does the laminate affect the image (sharpness, contrast, detail etc.) Thanks for this.
