More about Colorplak

The Colorplak Process in DetailColorplak has spent over ten years perfecting long-lasting lamination technology thatpreserves your photos and art images, while allowing all the detail of the original to shinethrough. The result is a mounting system that is unexcelled for quality and value.

Step One: Mounting Your image is mounted on high

quality Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) using archival-quality an

acid-free dry mounting adhesive.

Step Two: Joining A heated hydraulic press, exerting

150,000 pounds of pressure, permanently joins the the image to

the MDF board.

Step Three: Laminating The mounted image is laminated

with a specially chosen vinyl coating which is engineered to reduce

harmful UV radiation, preventing the image from yellowing or

fading. This laminate has a matte finish, eliminating glare. Other

laminate finishes are also available.

Step Four: Edge Finishing A beveled edge is created, and

sealed with a film in your choice of colors.

Step Five: Hanging A security mounting channel is routed into

the back of the MDF board to fit over the included coarse-thread screw.

Maintaining your ColorplakColorplak products are durable, and easy to clean. Use anyhousehold or glass cleaner and paper towels to thoroughly cleanthe viewing surface. Avoid solvents that dissolve vinyl, such aslacquer thinner. Colorplak products are designed to withstandhigh humidity (so they’re perfect for bathrooms and kitchens), butavoid prolonged water contact with the back side of the MDF.

Original ArtworkThe Colorplak process is permanent. We do not recommendColorplak for original artwork, limited edition prints, or delicate or irreplaceable originals. We can scan or photograph your original(if copyrights are granted) in a form that can be Colorplaked. Heat-sensitive originals, especially color copies, will require special handling.
