preserving ultrasound pictures

[LucyG]

I have quite a few of these, and I want to save them in some way that will be preservative, but will also allow them to be looked at easily. Is there any way to do this?

A few of the pictures are on photo paper, but most are the thin paper that the ultrasound machine prints out.

Thanks in advance for your help!

First, DO NOT laminate the pictures as they are. The paper is heat sensitive and will turn into a big black blob. (My dad was in Kinko's one day when a lady did hers and then had a meltdown...)

You can get a color photocopy of the pictures (yes, color of b&w!). You can ask the Kinko's people for advice on the settings or just try a couple yourself. Then you could laminate the photocopies or put them in a photo album. We made "brag books" for the grandmas with copies of ours.

HTH!

We scanned ours into the computer and then printed it out.

Yes, my OB's office puts a warning about laminating them on your appointment sheet when you schedule your ultrasound!!
