Face Mount Acrylics

Acrylic face mounting enhances the image which is mounted to the back of an acrylic sheet. Viewing the image through the acrylic offers a stunning, impressive visual effect by adding a third dimension to the image, creating depth and increasing contrast and color saturation. The mounting process preserves and protects the image. Additional benefits include:
* Acid Free Adhesive use on front and back of the print. * Choice of acrylic thickness: .06"(1/16"), .125"(1/8"), .25"(1/4"), .375"(3/8"), .5"(1/2")
* Polsihed edges
* Thick acrylic backed with sintra, thin acrylic backed with di-bond

Creating Giclées

THE CAPTURING PROCESS:
A High quality reproductions starts with a high quality scan.
THE PROOFING PROCESS:
Hard to match colors are masked and adjusted. When we feel the colors are correct, it's time for output. Proof prints are made and compared to the originals.
MAKING THE PRINT:
Using the CANON iPF9400 with it's 12-color Lucia ink system, we can reproduce art work that has a very wide color range.
COATING and PROTECTING:
The final step of making a fine art reproduction is to protect the print with a UV coating.
