Canvas Laminating
Canvas laminating is a cheaper alternative to canvas bonding. In this process the artwork, usually cropped to the image, is first bonded to a board substrate. The image surface is then laminated using a hot vacuum press with a textured film resembling canvas or linen. It is usual practice to close frame the image with out glass or a mount.

Block Mounting
The process outlined above can also be used to block mount a laminated image onto a thicker MDF substrate of between 9 and 24mm. The thicker boards are not normally framed - the exposed edges are coloured with a matching latex based paint. The form of the original image will dictate whether we use a hot or cold press.
