reverse printing photos and laying on acrylic
hi guys, I’m going to reverse printing on clear and backing with white some photos of my own then laying them on acrylic so they are laid on back of acrylic, I’ve seen some photography places that have like a solid silver like backing, does anyone know what material this could be?, and also they stick either wood or perspex angled to the back of it for fixings , does anyone know the best solution for sticking ? many thanks in advance,

Generally reverse face is printed to a glossy photopaper, and attached to the back of the perspex using an optically clear mounting film (drytac facemount adhesive (really horribly expensive)).
You’ll want to be working in the most dust free space imaginable!Then mounted to a sheet of either DiBond, or aluminium (the solid silver backing). Indasol UHB 9120G with surface primer to bond an aluminium sub frame / z-hanger to the back.

Check out this tutorial for dry mounting onto acrylic. Just make sure you have plenty of bleed around your image.
