Acrylic Prints
Acrylic mounting on 1/8” or 1/4” available
Museum Float Mount with Cleat
Face mounting photos to acrylic, also called second surface mounting, is a superior method for ensuring longevity and for giving a professional finished look to acrylic prints. Although it is a delicate process and requires time and a great deal of professional experience, I feel it gives the final product an almost three-dimensional, museum-quality result that is difficult to surpass. The glass also protects the photo from fading, dust and scratches.
With face mounting, an archival crystal clear film adhesive is applied to the print and is then mounted to the front of the acrylic. The bond between the UV-resistant glass and the photo is airtight. Because of the airtight bond, there is no light reflection between the glass and the photo. It adds depth and makes the photo look like it is part of the acrylic. When paired with the photo paper, face mounting photos to acrylic creates a look that has to been seen to be believed. This ensures that vivid colors achieved by the acrylic printing process are not compromised.
A wooden museum float mount is attached to the back of the print for hanging. The backing creates a 1″ space between picture and wall, which makes it appear as if it is floating away from the wall, giving additional dimension to the photo.
Aluminum Prints
Dye Infused 8mm Aluminum
Float Mount Hangers are attached to the back of the print, and float the print 1/2-inch off the wall when hung.
3/4" Inset Frames are a great alternative to the Float Mount Hangers. Inset Frames are recessed from the edges of the print, so the print appears to float away from the wall when hung. Available in silver, with your choice of a French Cleat or Wire Hanger.
Aluminum prints represent a new art medium for preserving photos by infusing dyes directly into specially coated aluminum sheets. Because the image is infused into the surface and not on it, your images will take on an almost magical luminescence. The ultra-hard scratch-resistant surface is waterproof/weatherproof and can be cleaned easily – just avoid direct sunlight.
If you would like to hang your artwork outside there is a Performance EXT Metal that’s available. Performance EXT Metal is specially engineered for extended life in the elements! Performance EXT Metal will last 2-3 years in direct sunlight without noticeable fading.
