Cold mounting is the preferred method for sticking works on paper down to a flat surface or substrate. Its particularly useful for digital photographs which are sensitive to heat. The process involves a double sided transfer tape rolled onto the reverse surface of the image and then the image is adhered to the substrate. The transfer material is acid free but is permanent and not reversable. Cold mounted works can be framed under glass or hung using split battons. Contact us for a quote

There are many rigid surfaces which are suitable for coldmounting works on paper. Here are some of the more popular materials and some differences between them. Foamcor: Lightweight and acidfree. Available in different thicknesses but needs to be framed as it's quite soft. Dibond: An aluminium composit with a recycled rubber centre. Usually 3mm in thickness Foamex: A solid plastic composit board available in different thicknesses.
