    Presentation explained:
    Perspex mounting is a contemporary way to present photographic prints for interiors. The colour print is bonded to clear acrylic using a silicon gel and then backed with a black acrylic substrate. Once the perspex has been bonded to the front of the print the appearance is of high definition with deep saturated colour. The completed piece is supplied with an aluminium sub-frame, which floats the panel from the wall. Reverse perspex has a reflective diamond polished finish with a stunning flawless result. Printed, mounted and finished by Metro Imaging.

    Authentication: Prints are signed on verso and supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Metro take great care ensuring that prints are very well protected and efficiently delivered in the UK and overseas. Metro offer a vast array of delivery options to suit the recipient’s preference, all of which is overseen by Mr Steel.
