FAQs
What size image can this mount hold?
This mount is designed to hold images or prints up to 4" x 4" (10 x 10cm).
What size frame is this mount for?
The mount is specifically designed to fit within 6" x 6" (15 x 15cm) 3D box frames.
How does this mount protect my photos?
The 2mm thick paper-based mount creates a gap between your photo and the glass of the frame, which helps prevent condensation from forming directly on the image and causing damage.
Can I decorate the mount?
Yes, the neutral off-white surface is suitable for decoration, allowing you to personalize it to match your style or the artwork.
What are beveled edges and why are they important?
Beveled edges are angled edges on the mount's opening. They are important because they help prevent the mount from casting shadows onto your image, ensuring a clearer and more appealing display.
How should I clean the picture mount?
It's best to clean the mount with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using water or liquid cleaners, as they can damage the paper material.
Is this mount archival quality?
While it offers protection against condensation, it is described as a 2mm paper-based mount. For long-term archival preservation, specialized archival materials are recommended, but this mount provides a good protective layer for standard display.
Troubleshooting
Mount does not fit the frame.
Ensure you are using a 6" x 6" (15 x 15cm) frame and that the mount is correctly oriented. This mount is specifically designed for compatible Nicola Spring 3D box frames.
Image does not stay in place.
Use appropriate photo-safe adhesive or archival tape on the back of the image to secure it to the mount. Ensure the adhesive is applied evenly.
Mount appears creased or damaged.
Handle the mount with care during unpacking and installation. If creased, it may be difficult to achieve a smooth finish. Consider using a new mount if damage is significant.
Shadows are visible on the displayed image.
Ensure the mount is lying flat within the frame and that the frame itself is not causing the shadows. The beveled edges are designed to minimize this, but proper alignment is key.
