Kodak "E" Surface (Lustre) Paper
State-of-the-art print-life longevity, 100 years in typical home display and 200 years in typical dark storage, Kodak Endura paper delivers soft, smooth, realistic flesh-tones along with intense blacks and rich, bright color saturation. With Kodak Endura paper, we help you deliver your vision on a medium that will stand the test of time. The "E" surface is a pearlescent finish with a bit of "tooth." It is the standard portait surface. Fingerprints are noticeable. Prints should be displayed under glass, but should not contact the glass directly. Standard

Kodak "F" Surface (Glossy) Paper
Kodak Endura paper with a glossy finish. The gloss surface of the paper delivers an image with more apparent contrast than lustre or matte. Useful for commercial applications where you want that extra "punch." The glossy surface shows fingerprints and scratches more readily than the other surfaces. Extra care should be taken to protect it. "F" Surface paper carries a 10% premium. Add three days.

Kodak "N" Surface (Matte) Paper
Kodak Endura paper with a flat finish resulting in minimal reflectivity of surrounding light. This is a good option for prints for wedding albums that are not going to be coated, as it minimizes the effect of fingerprints. Also excellent for differentiating your black and white prints from your standard color prints to boost your profits. Matte surface paper approximates the look of some traditional black and white papers of the past. "N" Surface paper carries a 10% premium. Add two days.

Kodak "M" Surface (Metallic) Paper
High contrast, glossy, almost luminescent surface. This paper uses a proprietary combination of film laminate layers that results in striking, three-dimensional, lasting images on an ultra-bright background. Delivers images with impact and depth unrivaled in the industry. Not all images reproduce equally well on Metallic paper. Contrasty black and whites, images with lots of colored metal and most sports imagery works well. Metallic paper carries a 25% upcharge. Add two days.

Single Weight Styrene
Very smooth, lightweight, semi-rigid and non-hydroscopic. Very smooth surface will not warp with changes in humidity. An excellent choice for adding value to smaller prints by making them ready to frame for your customer. This ensures your valuable work won't ripple and warp over time. Offered for prints 8x10 and smaller. Best suited to prints 5x7 and smaller. Standard

Double Weight Styrene
A more rigid version of the Single Weight styrene, this board is very smooth and non-hydroscopic. Reasonably substantial material will not warp. A cost-effective choice for mounting prints up to 20x24. Offered for prints 8x10 up through 20x24. Standard

3/16" Gatorfoam
A 3/16" black board, this Gatorfoam is sealed with a plastic coating on the back for a clean look. It is lightweight, rigid and non-hydroscopic. The light weight means less stress when hanging larger prints. The rigid shell and interior will not absorb moisture and therefore will never warp with changes in humidity. Offered for prints 8x10 and up. Standard

1/4" Hardboard / Masonite
Dense, nearly indestructible composite wood and resin material. When you deliver a finished print mounted on this substantial material, your customer will appreciate the quality feel of the product. Short of a hammer (or UPS truck) very little will damage this substrate. Ideal for use on canvas prints due to the fact we can apply almost ten times the pressure when bonding the canvas vs. Gatorfoam. Sizes other than standard incur a cutting charge. Offered for prints 11x14 and up. Standard

Stand-Out Board
Stand-Outs are 3/4" thick lightweight boards banded with an attractive hard edge.They have hanging holes on the back and are 1/4" undersized in length and width to facilitate trimming the print flush. Deliver a sleek, contemporary, ready-to-hang print to your customer without the hassle of framing. Boards as large as 30x40 can be hung with a pair of small nails or pushpins. Due to the critical tolerances required for mounting, we do not advise using these boards for images with obvious lines close to the edge that must run parallel to the board's edges. Offered for prints 11x14 and up. Up to ten extra days if the size is not stocked. Call ahead for best lead time.

Mural Mount Board
