This is ideal for presenting your artwork to the highest standard.<br><br>Photographic mounting and fine art mounting protects and displays your work in a clean minimalist way and is great for exhibitions with impact, allowing viewers to focus on the work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Video guide: A brief overview of our different mounting options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"An Introduction to Mounting\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/367056939?h=78dde06962&amp;dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"643\" height=\"362\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Archival dry mounting<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Archival dry mounting refers to the longevity of finished mounted artwork to ensure it doesn\u2019t degrade and will last over a significant duration of time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However it must be considered that dry mounting is an irreversible process and artwork cannot be removed from the mount board. Therefore it is not advisable for one-off original artworks or highly valuable prints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The more pro-grade mounting options including: <strong>Acrylic Reverse, Aluminium and Dibond<\/strong> are considered completely archival and ensure your prints stability over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprintspace.co.uk\/photo-art-mounting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theprintspace.co.uk\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/mounting_1-1024x585.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1305\" width=\"600\" height=\"342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theprintspace.co.uk\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/mounting_1-1024x585.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.theprintspace.co.uk\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/mounting_1-300x171.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.theprintspace.co.uk\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/mounting_1-768x439.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.theprintspace.co.uk\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/mounting_1-50x29.jpg 50w, https:\/\/www.theprintspace.co.uk\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/mounting_1-1536x878.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.theprintspace.co.uk\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/mounting_1-60x34.jpg 60w, https:\/\/www.theprintspace.co.uk\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/mounting_1-100x57.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.theprintspace.co.uk\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/mounting_1.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Non-archival dry mounting<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>More affordable and non archival dry mounting options including: <strong>Display Card, Foamex PVC, Foamboard<\/strong> and <strong>MDF<\/strong> contain contaminants including acids that cause degradation to the composition of the print over the longer term and therefore not considered archival forms of dry mounting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The table below gives you an overview of the mounting materials and their technical properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Please note that our lead time for mounting is 5 working days, apart from the Acrylic Reverse option which is 10 working days.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Overview of mounting materials and their technical properties<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img src=\"https:\/\/downloads.intercomcdn.com\/i\/o\/61592925\/91815470e4e5b9e16c48a18c\/mount2.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2>Tip: The paper we recommend to use with dry mounting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When choosing a paper type for dry mounting, we highly recommend one of our C-Type papers for a professional finish with a clean edge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The durable emulsion coating of a C-Type makes it very robust.
