Is framing a Photo as simple as, puting it in a frame.......?

The answer is no.

There are many techniques to photo framing.....

Blockmounting - a process of mounting the photo directly onto a bevelled MDF board,  is the cheapest way to frame a photo, but not without its problems, MDF is full of acid and can, over time, cause the photo to fox (brown markings on the photo) which are actually sections of the photo being eaten by the acid. Although it is a cheap alternative to framing, it is not a recommended application to anything that may hold financial or sentimental value.

Conservation Mounting - This process involves mounting the photo to an Acid free Board which helps to keep the photo flat and ripple free, without the worry of future photo damage. With the addition of mats (coloured boarders) any number of combinations and looks can be achieved.

Mat & Mount (Hinging photo behind mat) This process is popular with photographers, who need to boarder their photos to go into competitions, it is also the correct way to mount Limited Edition Photos & Signed Photographic Memorabilia, as it protects the value of the item by not mounting them down.

Canvas Photo Stretching - Photos are printed onto canvas, and stretched onto a Canvas Stretcher Frame. One of the most popular ways of framing photos in the last couple of years, it is simple, and also very effective when stretched onto a 40mm Canvas frame.

Canvas Stretchers come in a number of thicknesses and are costed accordingly, so if you would like an obligation free quote, give Pro-Frame Design a call on 0247 214 255
