An Analysis On Paper Mounts

By Ann Barnes


There are many different ways that can be used to mount different paper arts, for example prints, posters, photographs and many other pieces. Primarily, it is important for any piece of art that is in form of picture frames, to essentially be mounted on a board such as a backboard, so as to ensure the piece of art is held and positioned very well onto the frame. Paper mounts are very important especially in the field of art.

Regardless of the piece of art that you may want to frame, particular forms of mounting are overly required, so as to keep the art in a positioned way and in an accurate position. Many ways can thus be used in the mounting of art, and the method that you contemplate to use largely depends on what exactly it is that you are mounting.

When one is deciding the photo to display it is important to keep in mind the amount of space that is available. If there is need to make it a bit small or crop it one has to use the least amount of space. In order to get a clear view of the whole picture, it is important to carefully balance its size and the frame against the area meant for display. When a framed picture is too tiny for a large wall it entirely looks weird, awful and unbalanced.

It is most important to keep a picture in focus and having the central attention by mounting it on a larger mounting board and then later making the frame lager. The material that is used during mounting varies in cost since those that follow all the instruction and techniques are always more expensive. Frames that are custom made for a specific item have a high value compared to the readymade which have a standard size for all.

There are many items that may be used in non-archival mounting modalities or techniques, and some of the most notable ones include children art, newsprint, posters, cheap prints, duplicate photographs, ink jet prints alongside many others. Also, others include any other form of low value artwork, or even things that one intends to remain flat on permanent basis.

Situations may arise where the paper mounted does not have to fit the frame exactly and this also brings out a beautiful design. This frame may also not be of the standard dimensions and this too will be a good design for different purpose.

Regardless of the type of mounting that you may choose to use, it is vital to note that there are various things or materials that will be needed. First of all, a mounting board will be required, as well as various forms of glues and tapes that will be very useful in mounting your particular piece of art. Nonetheless, it is important to remember that that you should not mount on any cardboard, at any time.

Lastly, paper mounting remain very cardinal elements especially in the world of art. It is crucial to understand what materials are required in mounting, and also know how the process is usually done, in order to realize the best possible results.
