Suggested Finishing Materials
Laminates
Vinyl Laminate - 4 Mil
These pressure sensitive laminates are available in gloss, luster or matte finishes. They offer surface protection and can change the finish of your print to suit your display environment. When a high-gloss finish is desired, and glare is not a concern, gloss is the appropriate choice. Keep in mind that a gloss finish will show flaws, scratches and fingerprints more than any other laminate. Luster and matte offer the same protection without these disadvantages.
Lamination Prices
| Total Square Footage of Job | Cost per Square Foot |
| Less than 1 square foot | $12.00 |
| 1-2 square feet | $7.00 |
| 2-4 square feet | $5.00 |
| Over 4 square feet | $2.00 |
Polycarbonate Laminate - 5 and 10 Mil
These pressure sensitive laminates, also know as Lexan, are the most durable available. They resist scratches, abrasion and chemicals, and their textured velvet finish hides fingerprints and diffuses glare. They also provide a unique optical technology that prevents the laminate from making the print darker or dulling the color.
5 Mil Polycarbonate Prices
| Total Square Footage of Job | Cost per Square Foot |
| Less than 1 square foot | $18.00 |

Permanent Adhesive
This pressure sensitive adhesive turns any print into a decal, complete with peel-off release liner. We can apply the adhesive and either send the print rolled for mounting to the surface of your choice, or mount the print for you to a variety of substrates. See the Mounting Materials section for more information.

Mounting Materials
Posterboard
Also called matte board, railroad board and chip board, all are paper based boards used as economical mounting substrates. Not as rigid as foamboard, but thinner for applications where the thickness of the finished print is important.
Mounting Substrate Prices
| Total Square Footage of Job | Cost per Square Foot |
| Less than 1 square foot | $12.00 |
| 1-2 square feet | $7.00 |
| 2-4 square feet | $5.00 |

Foamcore
This 3/16 inch thick foam board has a polystyrene core with paper facing. It's great for short term displays or jobs on a tight budget, but it's too easily dented when handled for long term or abusive environments. Available in black, or white by request.

| Less than 1 square foot | $12.00 |
| 1-2 square feet | $7.00 |

| Over 4 square feet | $2.00 |
Gatorfoam
This foam board has a styrofoam polystyrene core with a Luxcell veneer and is available in thicknesses of 3/16 and 1/2 inch. It's much more durable and harder than foamcore making it more suitable in situations where it will be handled frequently, but the corners will still dent with impact so careful handling is recommended. Available in black, or white by request.
3/16 Gatorfoam Prices
| Total Square Footage of Job | Cost per Square Foot |
| Less than 1 square foot | $18.00 |

| Over 4 square feet | $7.00 |
Sintra
This expanded PVC plastic board is available in a variety of thicknesses, but 3mm and 6mm are the most popular for mounting. It's water resistant and fire retardant, making is desirable for display applications. Since it's a solid board, it's more durable than foamcore or gatorfoam, but it's also heavier and not as rigid. It also expands and contracts with temperature changes, up to .05 mil/ft per degree F.

Our Recommendations
For the most inexpensive print, the Satin Photo Paper offers tremendous image quality, but like the Kodak photo paper, the longevity will only be about 2-5 years indoors if kept out of direct sunlight. Of these, the Kodak is the heaviest, the weight of traditional photo prints.
For prints with greater longevity, the Matte Lithography Paper produces exceptional quality and a moisture and smudge resistant image that will last indoors for over 100 years. It is the heaviest of any of the papers at 13mil and 270 gsm, and is excellent for framing.
If you want traditional photo weight and great longevity without a completely flat finish, then the Image Pro Satin or Gloss are your best choices. They have a longevity of up to 100 years, and excellent image quality, and while they are more durable than some photo papers, they should still be framed under glass like all papers.
For more artistic media choices, the Sunset Textured Fine Art Paper and Gloss Decor Canvas are the most economical choices in each category. For other art media choices, see our Giclee Reproduction page.
