Archival Mounting
Proper mounting provides stability and protection for photographic prints while preparing them for exhibition, framing, or long-term storage. At Hank’s, we offer professional mounting using conservation-grade materials and techniques designed to preserve the integrity of the print.
Dry Mounting
Dry mounting permanently bonds a photographic print to a rigid backing board using heat-activated archival adhesives. This process produces a perfectly flat print surface and is commonly used for exhibition prints and presentation work.
Cold Mounting
Cold mounting uses pressure-sensitive archival adhesives to attach prints to a backing board without the use of heat. This method is often preferred when working with materials that may be sensitive to temperature or when a less invasive mounting approach is desired.
Cold mounting provides a stable and professional presentation while maintaining greater flexibility for certain types of prints.
