Flat mount / Floating mount prints

Here your print is mounted to black or white foam board and trimmed to the edge of the image or image border. The foam core will be visible on the sides unless you insert it into a frame. There are several great ways to display Flat mount prints.

Floating mount

We provide hidden black spacers behind the flat-mount print so it stands out from the wall. The distance from the wall can vary from 1 inch for smaller prints to 2 inches for larger prints. This works especially well for print sizes 16x20 and larger. The spacers on the back are configured to stiffen large prints so they stay flat. The print is hung with a provided hook that attaches to the wall with a 3M Command strip that can be easily removed from the wall without damaging the wall.

Picture wall

Borderless photos printed on matte paper in the 8x10 to 16x20 size range look great when attached directly to the wall in a group (see example below). A good way to do this is to screw some wood strips to the wall and attach the prints to them so the prints stand out from the wall.  The prints are fastened using hook-loop "coins" that we provide. These can be removed from the wall usually without damaging paint in case you ever want to remove the pictures. We suggest a uniform print size and will give you a uniform placement of coin fasteners.  This way you can easily change out one or more pictures if you want to display new ones. We provide detailed instructions for making your picture wall.

How to display a print mounted to foam board

  • Request the floating mount option for display singly or in groups
  • Mount several together directly on a wall with provided hook-loop fasteners
  • Install horizontal wood strips on the wall and mount to them
  • Place in a frame you purchase elsewhere
  • Stand up to display on a table
  • Stick to your refrigerator

Ready to frame

You can purchase a frame at a local store beforehand and order your flat mount print to a size that will fit. For the best viewing experience we recommend that you use neither the mat nor the glass. If you want a mat-look border, we can print one for you.

Self-standing display

For small prints we will place a folding stand on the back so the print will stand on a horizontal surface. You can select this option at checkout.

Refrigerator print

For small prints we will place a magnet on the back so you can place the print on a refrigerator or other iron metal surface. You can select this option at checkout.

Floating mount print

This customer's digitally enhanced photo with a mat-look border was printed on fine art paper then drymounted to black foam board. Black spacers were secured behind the board to set it out from the wall about an inch and to help keep the print flat.

Box mount print for comparison

The same digital image at the left was printed on fine art paper and mounted on a black foam board box. Although more expensive, this mounting has black sides that show the paper surface of the black foam board, not the foam core of the board...more
