Plexiglass Face Mounting

Face mounting of photographic images behind thick plexiglass is undoubtedly the most impressive way of presenting photographs. This technique is widely used in museums and galleries these days. This method adds a third dimension to a two-dimensional image and protects the image against scratches, dirt and aging. Plexiglass photo mounting provides a brilliance and intensity which is not possible with conventional photo mounting methods.

This technique uses the acrylic media with the print fused to a smooth elastic base. The print is fixed to the back of the plexiglass with a special adhesive, forming an airtight bond. Thus the image sharpness, contrast and color saturation are enhanced in the plexiglass mounting method.

Diffusion of light is reduced because of the homogeneous quality of the plexiglass media, thereby making the colors appear more vibrant, intense, and sharper.
