What is Foam-mounted Print?
A foam mounted print is a high quality paper print mounted on a lightweight but sturdy foamcore backing. This combination guarantees a smooth print and offers a professional, polished look. Foamboard Mounted Prints are a great way to display your photos and artwork.
*Note: Larger foam-mounted prints over 16×24 are advised to be framed to avoid any warping over time.
Difference Between a Print and a Mounted Print
A standard print is just the paper it’s printed on. A mounted print is permanently adhered to a supportive backing material. Because foam board mounted prints hold their shape, they lay flatter, look more polished, and are easier to display and transport than unmounted prints.
Why Mount Artworks and Pictures?
Mounting artwork and photography improves presentation and durability. Mounting prints on a foam board provides the artwork with additional support, which can help minimize wrinkles, waves and damage from handling. The result is a smoother display that is easier to display in homes, offices, galleries and exhibitions.
Displaying and Framing Foam-Mounted Prints
Foam mounted prints allow for a variety of display options for home and office. It may be shelf-mounted, wall-mounted directly (with appropriate installation techniques) or framed (for additional protection and aesthetic effect). They are lighter in construction so they are easier to manage and they present a clean, professional look.
