Print Mounting Options

While many people just need prints, our mounting options definitely have there place. If you're a photographer, they make a nice upgrade to any print and can save you customer some time when they go to get it framed. If you're going to buy an "Off the shelf" frame, you really should mount the print, especially the larger ones. You don't want those prints to slip or buckle, so mounting them on artboard or styrene is the way to go.

For display and competition prints our 3/16 inch black gator mounts will keep them flat and meets PPA competition print guideline requirements. The 1/2 inch black gator mounts look really nice but is too think for competition prints. Some people like to add mounting hardware to the back and hang them on the wall while others will put them on an easel for display. Our Standout Mounts are ready to hang, they have a finished black plastic edge and holes on the back. They are light weight, so a small nail in the wall is all it takes.

The picture shows each of these options. From top down: Styrene (white plastic), Artboard, 3/16" Black Gator, 1/2" Black Gator, and Standout mounts with black plastic edges.
