Mounting options at REDIpix.com

Dry mounting

We offer several options for ready-to-hang mounting of your prints. The first step in all but one of these is to dry mount the print to sturdy 3/16-inch foam board. A heat-sensitive adhesive sheet is placed between the print and the acid-free foam board. This sandwich is then placed in a vacuum dry-mount press for several minutes. Although the bond is permanent under normal conditions, the print can be removed by applying heat again and peeling it off. This ability to reverse the mounting process is one of the requirements for museum-quality archival mounting.

No glass - no glare!

The mounts available from RediPix do not feature glass cover. The canvas and fine art paper we use have a matte (non-reflecting) surface. Without reflections and glare, the prints have a wonderful presence, like looking out an open window. Why not use non-reflective glass? It is expensive and hard to ship. It also desaturates color, lightens blacks, and blurs the image. Our protective coating takes the place of glass by absorbing UV light and by resisting abrasion. We can apply a gloss coating if you want that extra "pop".

Foam board box

We make a box by cutting a v-groove around the back of the foam board after the print is mounted.  We then cut out the corners, fold back the sides, and secure them with hot-melt glue. Never seen this before? We invented it!

Box mount / standout prints

The print is mounted to the front side of a box made with black foam board. The black foam board shows on the sides and optionally can be revealed on the front to frame the print. Without a black border seen from the front, this mount looks similar to Gallery wrap but it is less expensive for a given size since you are not paying for paper and ink on the sides...more

Gallery wrap box mount

Similar to Box mount except the image or a printed border wraps around the edge of the box. For the same size print, the final size is smaller since some of the print is used to cover the sides...more

Stretch-roll canvas wrap

Our latest innovation in glassless mounting for a large canvas. Ships and stores in a tube...more

Flat mount

The print is mounted to black or white foam board and trimmed to the edge of the image or image border. This mounting is useful for self standing display, picture walls, floating mount, and ready-to-frame options...more

Wood frame

A special wood frame is constructed and the mounted print is set into the front of it. There is a small space between the edge of the print and the frame, thus the name "floating frame"...more
