Hi, I need to mount a large canvas print to MDF and need to come up with a solution which will last as it is for a proffessional photographer, does anyone have any tried and tested methods which they found to be reliable and stand the test of time?
Thanks

The canvas needs to be mounted permanantly to the MDF, as it is a heavy weight canvas it needs to be treated as a textile rather than a paper, so I am looking for something capable of fixing this to the MDF, there are many canvas printing companies moutning printed canvases on MDF so there must be a tried and tested adhesive out there - can anyone help?

thanks for the suggestion for the double sided tape tall paul, this is probably something worth considering, will do a test with this...

"Spray Mount". It was made for that purpose and shouldn't soak into or discolour the canvas.
It is effectively a weak solvent based adhesive.
Failing that, I'd use strips of double sided tape as close as possible to eachother so as to completely cover the surface.
Hope that helps.

There are adhesives made especially for mounting photos. It should be available at any real camera store or perhaps a really good hobby shop.
I'd think twice before mounting to any non-archival surface. The adhesive might protect the print but I'd hate to risk it.
Check at archivalmethods.com and ilfordphoto.com for information on archival mounting techniques and materials.

one million. you may desire to seek for a organization that prints photographs onto canvas. try finding in google. 2. Ask the organization which you choose for to apply how long transport takes. 3. the actuality that this is outlined on canvas has no longer something to do with something - the fastness of the colorings relies upon on the qualtiy of inks that they use. basically be certain you do no longer dangle it in bright sunlight.

If its a canvas have it stretched onto a wooden frame then mount and frame the stretched canvas !

It depends if you want it to be permanent or not? If you want it to be permanent I would use an archival PVA (like Jade). If you want to be able to remove it, I would make some wheat paste, (which can be removed with warm water), but depending on the thickness of your canvas, this may be insufficient.
