Hi Eric,

        If you really want to do this, I would suggest that you get in touch
with the photoresist Mfg's. I know that at least one of them has a polyester
film that is used for this purpose.
        Just a word to the wise; We tried this some years back and found that
the problems were worse than replotting the film. The laminator must be set-up
very precisely or it will stretch the artwork. Also, it is difficult to keep
the air (bubbles) out from between the artwork and the cover film. Additionally
the cover film makes the image stand off about 0.5 mils (the thickness of the
average film). The combined problems just were'nt worth it.

Good luck with whatever you decide.

Regards,
Les
