Mounting is an alternative to stretching canvas, and can add durability and strength to any print. We use acid free (pH balanced) Perfect Mount board with archival, aggressive adhesive to mount your prints. The board can then be cut to the size of your frame. See our price list for the fees related to mounting services. UV Coating: We recommend protecting canvas prints that will be exposed with a solvent-based clear coat fixative. We offer this service using a coating that is UV inhibiting, water resistant, very flexible, abrasion resistant, and non-cracking. You can spray prints yourself, if you prefer. Art supplies stores have a good selection of finishes and brands such as Liquitex, Winsor and Bulldog Ultra. See our price list for the fees related to UV coating services. Retouching, Texturing & Enhancing: Many artists add value and originality to their prints by retouching them with paints or texturing them with gels and paints. A translucent acrylic gel medium can give prints an extra texture dimensionality. You can retouch your prints with paints as needed, or to add additional effects. There are guides and information available on the Internet to help you prepare your giclée prints for retouching and enhancing. Stretching giclée Prints on Canvas: If you choose to stretch canvas prints, allow a minimum of 1 inch borders on all sides of the print. If you prefer, we can mout canvas for you on archival foamboard at an additional fee. |
