ArtPlaq Prints

ArtPlaq prints have long been my most popular display option (also known as "DuraPlaq" or "ColorBox" mounting). A fine art satin paper print is professionally mounted on a sturdy 3/8" high density, eco-friendly, smooth HDF wood substrate which is coated on both sides with an acid-free and moisture resistant barrier to prevent warping or discoloration. The print surface is sealed with a special fine-art-grade satin semi-gloss laminate, which eliminates unwanted reflections while maintaining excellent image clarity and contrast, and makes it UV, water, and fingerprint resistant.

The mount is finished with a beveled 1"-thick black edge, resulting in an elegant, modern, and durable print display that hangs flush against the wall using an easy-to-hang french cleat system.

A big advantage of this mounting style is that the laminate has a semi-gloss finish which eliminates reflections, enabling easy viewing of large prints, even in bright rooms with harsh lighting - a situation in which prints are almost impossible to see clearly with normal glass frames because of the reflections. Indeed, the ArtPlaq mounted prints seem to soak up light and glow with color.

ArtPlaq mounted prints are easy to take care of; you can clean them with ammonia-free or alcohol-free glass cleaner and a soft rag.
