Finishing services
At VM Foto, we can also mount your photo enlargements in various finishes. Don’t let your memories fade away; what could be better than using your own photos for decoration?
Photographic print on satin paper and FineArt
We recommend printing on satin paper for better preservation and handling, or on FineArt papers for superior image quality and durability—perfect if you’re looking for a specific texture or a heavier paper weight.
Light finishes for decoration and exhibitions
We offer a variety of mounting and finishing options, all of them lightweight and ideal for decorating your home, shop, or office, as well as for photo exhibitions or gifts.
Personalized advice for each project
Additionally, we can advise you on the best option based on your needs and budget.
Here is a brief explanation of what they consist of:
Dibond
This is a polyethylene panel coated on both sides with two prepared, heat-bonded metal sheets, providing excellent rigidity and high resistance to corrosion.
It is ideal for medium and large format prints. Furthermore, it is a perfect substrate for framing and offers the option of adding an aluminum subframe on the back. This creates a “floating” effect, making the artwork appear to hover off the wall when hung.
Dibond + Rear Aluminum Subframe
A U-shaped aluminum subframe (2 x 1,5 cm) can be added to the back of the Dibond-mounted piece, recessed from the edges. This serves two purposes: first, it provides greater rigidity, and second, it creates the visual effect that the print is “floating” off the wall once hung.
Forex (PVC Board)
This is a 3 mm thick plastic panel that is both lightweight and flame-retardant. It is an ideal substrate for both small and large format prints, and its excellent thermal insulation makes it perfect for framing.
It is available in two colors, black or white, and in two thicknesses: 3 mm and 5 mm.
Forex + Rear Aluminum Subframe
Just like with Dibond, a recessed U-shaped subframe (2 x 1.5 cm) can be added to the back of the Forex-mounted piece. This serves two purposes: providing increased rigidity and creating the visual effect that the print is “floating” off the wall once hung.
Lightweight Board
This substrate is composed of two sheets of foamed PVC with a rigid foam core, making it lightweight, highly durable, and smooth-finished.
Suitable for both small and large format prints, it is a highly cost-effective solution.
Several finishing options are available with white or black edges and in thicknesses of 1 or 2 cm.
FOAM Kapa
A very lightweight panel featuring a self-adhesive face structurally reinforced with aluminum.
This substrate comes ready for mounting prints of any size. It is a practical, budget-friendly option, making it ideal for exhibitions.
FOAM Kapa + Thin Aluminum Profile
This is an enhanced, high-rigidity finish added to the Foam board (as described above). The aluminum profile acts as a frame and is available in several colors: white, ash black or solid black.
FOAM Kapa + Thick Aluminum Profile
Similar to the previous option, this is an enhanced finish that provides even greater rigidity. In this case, the profiles are thicker, giving the image more depth within the frame. The aluminum profile serves as a frame and is available in different finishes: solid black, light wood, or dark wood.
