When presenting your photography prints, the right mounting option makes a big difference in durability and aesthetic appeal. Zno provides a variety of premium mounting options, designed to showcase your photo prints at their finest.
What is a Mounted Print?
Firstly, a mounted print is a photo or artwork adhered to a rigid backing material for support, durability, and ease of display. Common mounting materials include foam board, Masonite, styrene, and Gatorboard. They vary in durability level and weight. Mounted prints can be displayed as-is, framed, or as wall art.
Why Mount Your Prints?
Mounting serves dual purposes of structural support and aesthetic enhancement. Structurally, it ensures that your prints remain flat and stable over time, preventing warping or buckling, highly recommended for large-sized prints. Mounting also adds an artistic feel by adding depth and focus to the photos.
Types of Mounting Options
Styrene Mounting: Styrene is 4/5″ (2mm) thick and available in black. The material is made from plastic and does not warp. It has a contemporary look and offers flexibility and sturdiness. It is moisture-resistant and does well in a humid environment.
Masonite Mounting: Masonite is 1/8″ (3.2mm) thick. This traditional mounting surface offers a heavy-duty and long-lasting substrate. Known for its classic look, Masonite adds substantial weight and depth to prints. It is a popular choice for professional gallery-grade presentations where durability is a top priority.
Gator Foamboard Mounting: Gator Formboard is 3/16″ (4.8mm) thick and available in white, therefore, it is a lightweight solution. Gator Foamboard is a good choice for large prints that require easy handling. It provides excellent support while keeping the print lightweight.
Choosing the Right Material
Select a mounting material that is consistent with your photography style. In addition, consider the environment where your work will be displayed.
Modern Photography: Consider Styrene to maintain a sleek and minimalist look.
Traditional Portraits: Masonite adds a classic touch and an ever-lasting appeal.
Large Format Prints: Gator Foamboard balances weight and rigidity, ensuring easy handling and hanging.
