Samples
Please ask if you would sample of of the different mount board thicknesses and colour.
Slip-in mount assembly
These mounts are glued to the backs on the short side so prints can slide in from the long edge. To avoid possible movement some clients apply a dab of Pritt Stick to
the back before sliding the print into position.
Self assembly Mounts
These mounts come in two parts, the front has the print aperture cut out and the back has the double sided adhesive tape for you to stick the front and back together once you have positioned your print.
We suggest using a short strip of 3M magic tape to secure the print to the rear of the front mount, the back can then have the self adhesive (release) strips removed before carefully aligning and assembling.
Slip-in mount Print apertures sizes
Apertures are 1/2″ smaller than the print to make sliding the print into position easier. Eg a 5×7 print aperture would be 4.5″ x 6.5″
Self Assembly Print apertures sizes
Apertures are 1/4″ smaller than the print as the print can we attached to the mount prior to assembly. Eg a 5×7 print aperture would be 4.75″ x 6.75″
Bevel Cut
Both the print apertures and outer edges are bevel cut as you would expect from a high quality mount.
White Core
All our mount board is produced with a white core that will not discolour over time including our black & grey board that has a white core.
Backing board
As standard we use the same high quality white 750mic board from the front for the backing board on all our studio mounts to maintain our high quality. If requested we can use 1400mic board if a thicker mount is required.
Board thickness refers to the front mount board
750mic + a backing board 750mic = Total board 1500mic (1.5mm)
1400mic + a backing board 750mic = Total board 2150mic (2.15mm)
2400mic + a backing board 750mic = Total board 3150mic (3.15mm)
Fine Art Prints
As fine art prints are easily marked we recommend using self assembly mounts to reduce the risk.
By request
We are happy to produce special sizes, please ask.
Personalisation
Logos, names or special events can be blind emboss or foil print in Silver, Gold, Copper, Grey, Black or white on the rear or under the aperture for a modest fee, please enquire.
Sustainability
Our mount board is produced in the UK by James Cropper Ltd in the Lake District which has a rich heritage, respectfully manufacturing since 1845 whilst still maintaining the highest sustainability standards.
