Product Information

Full details

This Daler-Rowney Mount Board is designed for artists, students, and educators who need a reliable, sturdy surface for framing, mounting artwork, or creating displays. Its key benefit is providing a consistent, professional finish due to its high-quality construction and dual white/off-white surfaces. A potential caveat is its significant thickness, which might not be suitable for projects requiring extreme flexibility. This pack includes 20 A1 sized boards, each 1400 microns thick, offering both a crisp white and a softer off-white option for versatility in presentation.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the primary use for this mount board?

This mount board is primarily used for mounting artwork, photographs, and creating displays or presentations due to its rigidity and quality surfaces.

Can I use this for framing photographs?

Yes, absolutely. Its thickness and smooth surface make it an excellent choice for a backing or a matting board when framing photographs.

What is the difference between the white and off-white sides?

The white side is a brighter, cleaner white, while the off-white side offers a softer, more traditional hue. The choice depends on the artwork and desired aesthetic.

Is this board acid-free?

The product information does not explicitly state if the board is acid-free. For archival purposes, it's recommended to check specific product details or consider archival-quality boards if long-term preservation is critical.

How many boards are in a pack?

Each pack contains 20 boards.

What is the thickness of the board?

The board is 1400 microns thick, which provides significant rigidity.

Can I paint directly onto this mount board?

While possible, the surface is designed for mounting. For painting, it's often recommended to prime the surface first, depending on the paint medium you intend to use.

Troubleshooting

Board is slightly warped upon arrival.

Place the board flat under a heavy, evenly distributed weight (like other books or a stack of similar boards) on a level surface for 24-48 hours. This often helps to flatten it out.

Adhesive is not sticking well to the surface.

Ensure the surface of the mount board is clean and free from dust or oils. Lightly scuffing the surface with fine-grit sandpaper can also improve adhesion for some glues.

Cutting edges are rough or torn.

Ensure you are using a very sharp blade on your cutting tool (craft knife, rotary cutter). Make multiple light passes rather than one heavy cut. Use a metal ruler as a guide for straight edges.

White surface shows smudges from handling.

Use clean hands or cotton gloves when handling the board. If smudges occur, try gently wiping with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth. For persistent marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used cautiously, but avoid getting the board too wet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No specific setup is required for this mount board; it is ready to use straight out of the packaging. Ensure you have a clean, flat workspace before handling.

Care:

  • Store boards flat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of moisture to prevent warping or discoloration.
  • Handle with clean hands or gloves to avoid transferring oils or dirt onto the surface.
  • If minor marks occur, gently wipe with a dry or slightly damp (not wet) soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Keep packaging sleeves on unused boards to protect them from dust and damage.
