Sept 2016: We now have pricing per sq ft set up in Lab Works for odd sizes and people who bring us items to mount that were not printed by us. Details: Under mounting in laminating, there is now a sub department titled, "mounting and laminating sq/ft" There will be 2 choices for each thickness gatorfoam: normal or not printed by Color Services. The 30% increase is factored in the price per sq. ft. for mounting prints not printed by Color Services. Once you have chosen the correct price code all that is needed is to enter the measurements of the piece and the price will be computed.

Mounting on aluminum - fine art prints

We use 3m tape (3m VHB tape. We order from Uline cat # S-16123) for adhering the wood hangers to the back

We purchase the aluminum from Ventura Metals / VC metals. Aluminum type is 5052-H32. - 1560 Eastman Ave, Ventura, CA 93003 (805) 644-2100

The thickness of the aluminum is .055 which is the approx. thickness of a penny. It takes about 5 working days to get it. They only deliver on Tuesday & Thursday.


Is our Mounting Adhesive acid-free? Yes. We purchase 2 types of mounting adhesives from Coda and they are both acid-free, PH-neutral. (We cannot say that they are archival because that includes many more factors such as the ability to remove the print from the substrate and that is not possible. Our mounting adhesives are permanent.)
