Finishing

Mounting, protecting, enhancing and framing is the area of craftsmen. Pictures are blown up and mounted on to dibond panels, banners and even whole walls. The optical and aesthetic effect of both the material and protective coating are incredibly important. Not all materials are suitable for just any procedure. Especially for larger images the weight and durability of the materials used are extremely important.

Photos can be mounted on various materials and can be finished with protective foil and a hanging system on the backside. We have materials for several uses, like polystyrene and dibond. Read more information by clicking through below.

Dibond

Dibond is the most durable material to have your pictures mounted on. It consists of two layers of aluminum with a layer of durable plastic in between to keep the weight down. A great characteristic of this material is its rigidity which makes sure the picture mounted won’t bend – ideal for larger pictures. We can mount your images on two, three and four millimetres thick dibond.

Polystyrene

Polystyrene is a hard plastic with a smooth surface which makes it perfect for mounting a picture that has to be framed so that it stays perfectly flat or for temporary exhibits. Because of the flexible nature of the product we do not recommend it for larger photos. We offer polystyrene in one, two or three mm thickness. The maximum size for mounting on polystyrene is 150 centimetres.

Framing

A tried and tested method of showing and protecting your photographs is framing them. This not only protects your photo exceptionally well against dirt, dust and light, but is also a beautiful presentation. We offer standard frames as well as custom sizes. For specialised frames or information just drop by so that we can show you what we have to offer.

Plexiglass

An especially wonderfull finish is ‘Diasec’, a patented method of encapsulating a picture between a sheet of plexiglass and a mounting plate of dibond. Because of this process the light is defused like a framed picture. We can provide a custom aluminum frame so that the picture can be mounted on a wall.

Liquid Gloss

Liquid Gloss is a epoxy layer that is poured on a high quality print mounted on three millimeter dibond that gives the print punchy contrast an organic feel and a durable finish. We can also use this Liquid Gloss on a mounted canvas print which has the added benefit of the picture edges going around the frame. Liquid Gloss is also available in a matt, scratch-free option and is suitable for outdoor use.

ChromaLuxe

Chromaluxe is the newest technique in photo and art finishing. the end result is a print on aluminium, with deep black and full colours as a result. The surface is highly scratch and moisture resistant. When used with Epson archival inks this leads to an exceptionally durable artpiece.

Mounting Canvas

If you need an image printed on high quality canvas or vinyl you can count on Kleurgamma, from small to large sizes. The final product is mounted on a stretcher ranging in thickness from two to four and a half centimetres. Prints can be mounted so that the picture continues around the edges.
