PICTURE FRAMING

Hot Lamination:
Hot laminating service, two sided clear plastic film, protects, seals, and enhances printed colours to a wet look. Next day turn around on most orders, 60 inch wide machine, our price is 50 cents per rolling inch, high gloss finish smooth both sides, long lasting protection.

Dry Mounting on Foam Core and corrugated plastic Coroplast:
Dry mounting on Foam Core is a good way to keep maps and posters flat. Much less expensive and much lighter in weight than plaque mounting or picture framing. Stick pins or flag pins in without damaging the walls. Choose 3/16" or 1/2" thickness. Edges can be left untreated, finished with black plastic edger (now available for the 3/16" and 1/2" Foam Core), or mounted into a metal or wooden custom picture frame. We also offer Dry Mounting to corrugated plastic Coroplast, for the same price as the 3/16" Foam Core, offering good durability for outdoors. Foam Core offers a smooth flat finish, but only used for indoor purposes. Normal turnaround is about 3-4 business days on most orders. Rush service is available (surcharged.) You may also want to combine this service with either Hot Lamination or single sided Matte Laminate (highly recommended for extended life.) See our price list below, based on size.

Plaque Mounting / Float Mounting / Flush Mounting:
Plaque, Float, and Flush mounts, all professionally done and 100% satisfaction guaranteed. A more economical way to get a finished look to your maps, photos, pictures, posters, or any artwork. Mounted on smooth MDF wooden board. Contemporary looking. All three types of mounting (Plaque, Float, and Flush) include a matte finish laminate for protection (offering UV protection as well), a beveled edge with a selection of standard colors to choose from (black being the most common), all built in the price.
* The Plaque is the most economical, mounted on a solid smooth mdf partical board, which is about 3/8" in thickness, and includes a taped beveled edge. A very good way to get a finished look to a poster. Normal turnaround is about 3-4 business days on most orders; rush service is available (surcharged.) See our price list below, based on size.
* The Float is a thinner board, supported by thick in-set rails from the back. Also includes a taped beveled edge. It is light in weight, so more ideal for large items because of the offered support. The Float leaves a shadow on the wall, which gives a beautiful floating effect to the display. Normal turnaround is about one week on most orders; rush service is available (surcharged.) See our price list below, based on size.
* The Flush shows a 7/8" attractive thick taped profile, and offers a nice wide bevel. It is also recommended for large items. Fairly light and good support all around. Assorted colors are available. Normal turnaround is about one week on most orders; rush service is available (surcharged.) See our price list below, based on size.
All three types: The Plaque, the Float, and the Flush come with a taped colored beveled edge. Alternatively, they can come as a painted edge. This is slightly more expensive than prices below. Please contact us for a custom quote.

Mat Plaque / Mat Float / Mat Flush / Raised Plaque Mounting:
Mat-Plaque, Mat-Float, Mat-Flush, and Raised Plaque Mounting is available, and is highly recommended especially for smaller prints. This process is similar to the above service, but we add a colored Mat under your print before Mounting. A 2 or 3 inch wide white Mat is most common. Mat-Plaquing adds an additional nice stylish wide border around your Artwork. The Mat is mounted directly on the MDF, the photo is centered and sits on top, then the matte laminate over top both. A colored beveled edge will finish the sides (black being the most common edge color.) Adding a Mat will increase the overall price in comparison to standard Plaque Mounting, as the UI (united inches) for your piece will increase, plus the cost of the Mat. However, this process enhances the look of your final product, and adds visual emphasis. Normal turnaround is about one week on most orders; rush service is available (surcharged.) Please contact us for a custom quote.

Canvas: From Digital (Giclée) or from Paper (Canvas Transfer):
Digital Canvas Printing and Stretching: We offer direct printing output from digital to Artist Stretch Canvas (Giclée). Send us your digital photos, artwork, designs, and we can edit them (if needed), then print them directly from your digital file to Canvas. The Canvas is then matte laminated (to seal and protect) and stretched onto light weight wooden frame (stretcher bars.) Edges can be finished with black or white linen tape, for maximum image shown on the front side. Image can also be wrapped around on the sides (Image or Gallery wrap.) White or solid color edge printed as part of the image (Museum wrap), Photoshopped using a mirror or stretch technique. Please specify when ordering. The quality is truly excellent.

Edge choices: (Black or white linen tape, Image or Gallery wrap, Museum wrap, or Photoshopped wrap.) See photos to the right.
We recommend matte or gloss laminating our digital printed Canvas, as it seals and protects it, enhances its look, and brings out the high texture definition that everyone loves. Some vendors don't do this, so the image may fade, crack, or degrade over time. However, some client's supplied Canvas or Fabrics can be ready to be stretched as is without laminate. For example: Oil painted Canvas. You may also want to consider adding a nice wide contemporary or classical wooden frame to your stretched canvas, as it's an excellent way to finish it off. Please contact us for a custom quote and for more details.

Canvas Transfer and Stretching: We also offer Paper to Canvas Transfer. Top layer of the paper is lifted along with the print on matte laminate, and is mounted onto canvas. This process is called "Canvas Transfer". The end result shows the canvas texture that gives the image the appearance of an original painting on canvas. For best results with this kind of process, prints must meet certain requirements in order to be successfully transferred to canvas. We must see your item(s) to make this assessment, but usually for best results: Anything printed on wood pulp paper or cotton rag paper, Photographs, and inkjet printouts on rag, acid-free, artist or watercolor paper are fine. Not recommended: Anything in poor condition (i.e. stains, wrinkles, dents, water damage), paper with heavy texture, or Laser copies.
