Featured Comment: Steve Andre (no link provided) asked: "I'm guessing by the images you've posted: 22"×22" printed images framed to 28" × 28" right?"
my response: Andre, there were 2 sizes - the 3 prints in the receptionist area (+ 3 in a conference room, not shown) are 19 inch images on 24×24 inch paper, mounted on foamcore with no mat, and framed to 24×24 inches; the prints in the common area are 22×22 inch images on 24×24 inch paper, mounted on 32×32 inch off-white mat board, and framed to 32×32 inches. In both sizes there are no over matting or glazing.

Hello Mark,
Congrats on your sales. I see that some businesses are doing well and are actually buying art!
I'm guessing by the images you've posted: 22"x22" printed images framed to 28" x 28" right?
Mark, they look great.
Hello Mark,
Thanks for the info. Much obliged.
Print mounting is something I'm struggling with. Traditional framing is now too costly for what I can sell my prints. I've started using canvas prints but I still prefer, by a wide margin, digital photo/art paper.
However, you've piqued my curiosity: your framing method sounds super simple, yet seems to be highly productive, cost efficient and most of all, elegant!
Now, I've got to ask:
1- What paper do you use for printing
2- How is the print affixed to the backing board
3- How is the print protected from scuffing, humidity and airborne pollutants since there is no glazing?
4- Do you make your own frames or do you buy them readymade?
TIA,
Andre
Nice…
The prints look great, and the images of your hanging prints look good too! Do you plan to use the latter as part of your marketing, to help potential clients visualise the end result?
