This week I want to cover a print finishing process we call The Gallery Mount Collection. For over 8 years now we have seen the popularity of this type of display for photographs, posters and ink jet prints take off. The clean contemporary look is very attractive and fits almost any decor. The fact that it is usually less expensive than framing, more durable and so versatile has make it a fan favorite. Clients with fine art installations either in home or offices especially love it. Because of it's durability, no glass to break or cause those nasty reflections, many institutions such as park visitor centers, museums and anywhere else where there is a high volume of traffic have made the switch.The base substrate is MDF in either 3/8 or 1/2" thick. We recently produced over 100 pieces for a hospital in Massachusetts using Flame Retardant MDF so that the final product would meet their building code requirements. 

Practically finger print proof, it can be cleaned with most any glass cleaner product so the care and feeding is very easy and minimal. Gallery Mounts are available in a variety of styles and edge colors. Between the 'Flat', 'Float' and 'Box' versions there is almost an unlimited variety you can create by mixing, matching and stacking them together to get a totally custom look. Over 22 edge colors and literally thousands of background matte colors round out the options available. Also, they are very easy to hang using a french cleat for the Float and Box styles. The Flat version is hung by a keyhole and all hanging hardware is  included.  All images are coated with a UV protective laminate in either our new Crystal surface or our traditional Velvet. Durable, cleanable, less expensive and great looking, this is the only way to display your artwork, awards, posters and more. If your in the neighborhood please stop by as we have plenty of samples for you to see. If you have had a Gallery Mount made we would love to hear your thoughts about it. Also let us know about any creative designs or applications you may have come up with.
