Mounted Prints
Hi!
I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me with this. I started creating composites for friends and family. Basically I create an 18 by 6 document and merge 5 favorite pictures from a session I do. (Now I've been photographing children playing/throwing leaves.) I have been printing the composites on photo paper- but everyone has been asking if I can get the composites mounted- such as on gatorboard or styrofoam. Does anyone know a place that does this? Thanks!!

I love mpix for this! I have 9 12x12 photos on double weight mat board in my dining room. LOVE them. They warp a bit over time but not enough to be noticeable to anyone but me.
I've used their foam core too but found the cuts less precise.

Thanks so much for the quick reply! I had checked Millers- Mpix's sister company but they did not have the sizes I was looking for mounted. They only had the standard sizes such as 4x6, 5x7, 8x10, 12x12.....
I'm going to try out the 15 by 5 at Mpix and see how that works out. Thanks!!

Most labs will custom cut for you, just call them.

Mine are hanging unframed on my wall
 and I love them! They've been there for a year and a half!

Ask the lab for DiBond or something similar. It's an aluminum composite board and won't warp. It'll be more expensive than mat board, though.

I didn't take this, but you can see my photos in this picture. I hung them with velco
 so that I can swap them out as I feel the urge! I of course, have not changed them in a year! I am planning on having a Christmas set made this year to add some color to the room!
