What shouldn't be plak mounted?

​

Plak mounting is done with heat and pressure.  Although the greatest care is taken with all items being

mounted there is always a chance that damage can occur. 

​

• Irreplaceable and items of great value should be framed rather than plak. 

​

• There are some digital printing processes that do not react well to heat. 

It is important to let us know how your item was printed. 

​

• Pieces on paper that have been wrinkled, creased or torn sometimes will flatten

out and plak beautifully, but will also sometimes wrinkle or crease.

​

• Items that have been made with layers of paper that have been glued or pasted together (especially children's artwork)

will often "show" the layers or glue lines after plaque mounting.

​

• Tickets to sports or theatre events may be printed on thermal sensitive card stock to avoid copying

(these will turn black from the heat if plak mounted)

(we recommend that you allow us to reproduce the tickets photographically so as not to damage the originals.)

​

• Items like college diplomas that can not be replaced should be reproduced before plak mounting and the original kept in a safe place.

 

Through our partners, we offer replica printing. We will be happy to discuss any item you may be

concerned about and offer our advice on the safest ways to proceed!
