Valuable finishing touches are the
tell tale sign of a true professional. Don't cut corners
here, especially when your business is on the line or
when you need a message to last. Your options are only
limited by your imagination. We've described some of
our more popular options in more detail below:
Mounting (Foamcore,
Sintra, Plexiglass, Gator foam)
To properly display your print, you must mount it correctly.
NapColor can mount your graphics to a variety of substrates.
Most are available as white or black and are up to 1/2"
in thickness. Each mounting substrate has certain characteristics
that make it the best choice for your specific applications.
To select the most suitable mounting substrate, please
consider the following items:
- Will the graphic be displayed outdoors
or indoors?
- How long will it be on display?
- Will it be in direct sunlight?
- Are there any special effects such
as being offset from a wall
or perhaps a face-mount to plexiglass?
- Will framing be desired?
Lamination (Gloss, SatinX, MatteX, Lexan)
There are typically three steps in producing a large-format
color graphic product. First, we print your file. Then,
we mount it to an appropriate substrate to satisfy your
display requirements. Finally, we apply an overlaminate.
Lamination is used for several reasons:
- Protects and preserves your print
from UV, moisture, scratches and fingerprints.
- Changes the finish of any given print
to gloss, matte, or luster.
- Enhances or changes certain characteristics
such as:
- Adds to the thickness or rigidity of a print
- Improves the form-shaping ability of a print
- Gloss makes colors "POP"
- Matte eliminates glare and subdues colors
- EmeryTex provides trade-show durability
with extreme scratch resistance and a non-glare pebble matte finish
