I'm not able to print big but I was interested in the new canvas wrap border feature in Qimage and wondered about the technique for wrapping material onto a block mount.
So, I had a go using 3 thickness's of 5mm foam board and Epson Photo paper (80gm).
I used spray adhesive to stick the foam board together and made it 125 x 175 mm. I also adhesive sprayed the front face of the foam block secure the print and the wrapped the print around to the back with "envelope" folds and secured with double sided tape. The back was tidied up by sticking a rectangle of thin card to it.
The mirror border was set to 20mm and extra wrapping allowance created with a 15mm no. 2 border. I printed with crop guide lines.
To enable accurate alignment of the block, I marked out the back of the print to the block size and pre-folded along those lines.
The result is shown below.
I'd be very interested to hear from the pro's on the forum detail of what extra allowances they make for the wrapping and the technique used to deal with the corners.
I'd thought I might make a few more as small gifts or one's with a Christmas greeting and a suitable seasonal image. I may use Ilford Smooth Fine Art paper, it has a nice texture.
