Mounting 4x8 Print Between 2 Pcs Of Acrylic For Wall

[SignEx]

We have customer who wants to mount a print to wall between 2 pieces of acrylic,

What would be best media for the print? vinyl, photo paper etc,

I have done smaller door plates before, But nothing this large,
The print would be a photograph of building,

they want to mount acylic to wall with standoffs and have print between the 2 pieces of acrylic,

any input would be appreciated,

thanks mark

Do they want to be able to change it? If not, I'd do a reverse print on acrylic, and skip the back panel.

Yeah I'd do that.. reverse print on clear and mount to back side of acrylic... assuming the acrylic is clear?

 

[gvozden]

yup, reverse print on clear and laminate with plain white and all that mount on back of first acrylic plate. No need for second , only if you need thickness for spacers..

You could print white and apply to the back sheet first surface, We use an 9 mil. polyester material direct print of a roll but I'm don't know how that would work or if it will sag because of the size.

I do this alot, I print to polypropylene, then apply an optically clear roll able adhesive (viewbond) to the surface. I will mount that to the back of the first piece of acrylic. After this I apply a roll able adhesive like Instabond to the back of the print. I manually join the acrylic pieces together, then run through the rollers of my press. Next I drill holes for stand offs.
