Print paper photo glued to Dibond

Photo prints are pasted onto a Dibond panel. Dibond is the assembly of two aluminum plates surrounding a black polyethylene plate which gives it great strength with a remarkable stiffness/weight ratio. Dibond is the preferred pasting support of art galleries for its aesthetic, lightweight and very resistant design.

A 2mm Dibond for formats up to 80 x 120 cm.

A 3mm Dibond for larger formats.

On the back, a 30×18 recessed aluminum frame with a hook is placed 5 cm back.

American Box

The photo print is pasted onto a 1 mm thick aluminum panel and framed in a custom-made American-style wood frame. With a depth of 40 mm, the space between the print and the inner edge of the frame is 1 cm.

The framing for the American Case in Black, White or light oak is 8/40 (the width seen from the front is 8 mm and a depth of 40 mm).

The 3 choices, black, white and light oak (real wood veneer glued to a wood frame) are at the same price. The wood used comes from a PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) chain, which ensures the protection and sustainable management of forests worldwide.

– an efficient hanging system is attached to the back, allowing for safe wall mounting.

– a very resistant metal cable for small and medium formats
a beveled wood rail for medium and large formats, integrated into the frame, ensures good hold of the hanging. It guarantees a great resistance to deformation over time.

Printing on Dibond

This flat printing process allows for direct printing on 2 or 3 mm thick Dibond sheets. Dibond is made up of two aluminum sheets surrounding a black polyethylene sheet, giving it great strength with a stiffness-to-weight ratio. Direct printing on Dibond is highly resistant to outdoor use, wet environments, kitchens, or bathrooms. One of the two faces of Dibond is a white-coated surface on which high-quality photographic printing is possible. The inks are solidified and fixed to the support through UV rays.

On the back is an aluminum frame with a 30×18 indentation and hanging hook, placed 5 cm back.
