Mounting
& Custom Shaping
Prints can
be mounted on a sturdy backing using our dry mounting process.
Mounting provides a professional, finished appearance to all types
of reprographic prints making them excellent for displays and
presentations. The materials most commonly chosen for dry mounting
are black or white, 1/4", 1/2", or 1" thick and
described below:
Foam board
is a low cost soft surface material which provides a neat and
professional finish. But, because foam board absorbs humidity,
it can warp. So, it is ideal for smaller prints or short term
presentations.
Gator board
is premium hard surface mounting material. It is very rigid and
ideal for larger prints and longer term applications. Mount on
1/2" or 1" black gator for a very good finished look
that does not have to be framed.
Gator board
can be trimmed to any shape you need. We just trim to the image.
Circles, waves, etc.
PVC and plexiglass
are plastic base substrate used for outdoor applications and backlit
boxes. Crescent board is a 1/8" paper based art board product.
