“Mounted” prints, or “display graphics,” are laminated prints applied to a rigid material, such as foamboard. The
added support of the mounting surface greatly increases the durability and life of the print. This type of post-print 
finishing can be utilized for all types of graphics. Sizes and shapes vary depending on the specific application, but,
overall, tend to be larger than regular posters. There are several lamination and base material options for this 
application, all dependent on customer requirements for the final “look” of presentation. When shipping, proper
packaging is critical, as mounted prints can damage easily.

Posters, sales presentations, framed images, museum signage, in-house graphics, merchandising materials,
presentation graphics, exhibit graphics, promotional displays, corporate graphics, wall murals, photo-realistic 
imaging and map reproduction.

Multi-paneled images are laminated prints of virtually unlimited size that require special prepress setup and 
post-print construction. Accurate measurements, forethought and planning are critical to this application. The 
prepress operator must obtain specific output expectations from the end-user or installer to ensure that the resulting
output is successful. With the help of a computer layout program, images are “tiled” to specific panel dimensions,
incorporating overlap or “butt-seam” construction. 

Event signage, billboards, wallpaper, shopping mall decor, office graphics, public areas, theatrical backdrops, school
functions, museum display, art gallery display, showrooms, maps, directional display, architectural plans, landscape
plans and arena graphics.

• Assembly: Standard overlap amounts are usually 1/2–1 inch (12–25 mm).
• Butt/Perfect Seam: No overlap is created on the digital image.
