Mounting
Mounting is the method used to secure artwork for presentation by gluing it, taping it, trapping it, screwing it, or nailing it. Mounting techniques that we use are hinge mounting, dry mounting, cold mounting, face mounting, float mounting, recessed mounting, or passepartout.
Hinge mounting
With wheat starch adhesives and Japanese rice paper.
Dry mounting
Our Seal 500T Dry Mount Press provides a solid and trusted method of mounting traditional and digital prints. We use only pH neutral heat activated dry mount adhesives and can mount on a variety of ISO certified boards.
Hinge Mounting
All our hinge mounting techniques use a variety of Japanese hinging materials and wheat and rice starch pastes or Methyl Cellulose water soluble adhesives and are completely reversible.
Cold mounting
Most contemporary artwork including digital prints (giclée) are sensitive to heat and thus require a cold mounting process. We provide a wide selection of ISO certified materials that protect your work from damage and deterioration.
Corner pockets, strips, recessed mounting
ISO certified papers, tissues, and plastics with pH neutral adhesives creates a completely acid/lignin free environment and assures longevity.
Face mounting
