Mounting Options

The mounting styles available for your chosen print size and type will be automatically displayed in the purchasing options before you add your print to the cart.

Some mounting options are not available for all print sizes.  The shopping cart will automatically show you which ones are available for the print size and type you have chosen.

For photographic prints:

Styrene

Styerne is a stiff plastic sheet.   A photo mounted to styrene is not susceptible to warping or distortion, and is recommended for use when framing.   Styrene mounting is available in both black and white.    Inside a frame the styrene edge is not visible so it does not matter which color your chose, although the black styrene is a little thicker.   If you intend to display the photo in the open and not in a frame, the color will make a difference, we reccomend black for aethetic purposes.

Black 3/4" standout

Sleek and slightly textured, Black Standout is a black plastic edging that encases lightweight foam. Choose from popular sizes between 8x10” and 30x40”.   This mounting option can be used as an attractive standalone display that does not require the use of a frame.

 For canvas prints:

Stretcher Frame

A Stretcher frame is a traditional artist's canvas mounting method - canvas that is pulled tightly around a wood frame and stapled to hold it in place. If you have ever seen a traditional painting outside of a frame, this is what they look like. If you intend to frame a stretched canvas, just be aware that it will need a deeper frame than an off the shelf photo frame. If you intend to use an off the shelf frame, you may wish to consider the masonite mounting below.
