Backing is 1/8 sheet if optically clear acrylic. The adhesive is a double sided optically clear facemount adhesive. Thanks for asking and contact me through my site if you have more questions. Luminous-Views.com

Any flat glossy paper will do. I am using the Metallic Photo paper due to the unique way it reflects light. It is not quite as white as it could be but sometimes effect is a bigger consideration than gamma.

Hello sir. I've been learning from your videos quite a while about face mount acrylic using adhesives. To learn your pov, I want to get your advise on UV/UV LED printing (i-e, Mimaki UCJV 300-330 series or Roland TrueVIS UV roll based printer. My question is, are these UV roll based printing compatible for same face mount acrylic printing using adhesive? Your advise will be appreciated.

Lemme know how your edge finishing goes. I have experience with using 200 to 3500 grit sanding, flame polishing and now use a diamond edge finisher (very expensive but HUGE time saver). Thanks for the comment!

Love your work! Specially the polished edge on the acrylic! What is the technique you use to obtain those smooth results? I have read that diamond polishing is the best way but the machine is over $5000!

@LuminousViewsGallery Жыл бұрын
To get the edges polished like that I use 6 levels of sanding starting at 100 grit paper and going to 3500 grit. The last two grit pads are specially made for car paint. When i get busy enough i will get the $5000 machine as it will save all kinds of time. What is your product?

@@LuminousViewsGallery Thank you so much for your response! I currently do wood work, I make 3D logo signs. But I am looking to get into making these acrylic face mounted art. I am just getting started, I ordered the facemount adhesive roll and a cheap manual laminator just to start of. I have been watching all types of videos in youtube and yours is the only one I see that shows the polished edge so nice. I could not have imagined it was sanded! I thought it was the diamond machine you had. It looks amazing. I have tried sanding the acrylic down but only to 320 and then doing the flame. Which helps but I guess I was missing going even higher on the sanding disk. However, since I have a company that provides the acrylic with the polished edges at an extra charge, I may skip this step all together. But I do see that you polished it after mounting the print, is there a reason for this? Also, do you do the flame afterwards or just sanding it down?

@@uniquecraftsbyjenn337 I used to flame polish after 800 grit but the extra fine grit with extra time technique is most consistent and I never do too much (bubbles and burns) or too little (dull) flame/gloss - i mean without the $5K machine. Have seen laser cuts as perfect as my edges but never seen/watch a laser actually make a PERFECT acrylic cut. It has gotta be dialed in I imagine. I do have a diode laser for wood/leather plaques on my frames. It does cut opaque acrylic but not transparent. Your CO2 laser should make perfect cuts if dialed in I imagine - IN ANY SHAPE

@@LuminousViewsGallery yes I have tried getting a polished edge using my laser but I think its not very consistent, in all honesty I only tested once and yes the results were impressive but not perfect. I may have to play around with the speed and power a little more and see where it gets me. The issue is that I only have a bed with a width of 23.5 inch max and I want to make bigger prints, for that reason, I need to learn another method that gets me polished results. As you say, the laser would be great since it can make any shape, I am thinking about laminating the photo and then cutting the acrylic to a special shape with the settings dialed in for polished finished edges. It may be a great product to sell. But first I need to get the laminating process perfect to then go and test some more 🙂 I am excited! Thanks again for your help! I have one more question, how is the sanding disk that you have, the one that you pass the acrylic edge through before sanding it with the orbital manual sander called? Thanks again! I am impressed I was able to get in touch with you after finding this video!

@@uniquecraftsbyjenn337 it won't be just a speed and power issue to get perfect cuts on acrylic. Your focus and hownthe laser us setup I believe... maybe call the manufacturer. I believe it would be WELL WORTH IT with a machine like that.

Hey Michael! GREAT JOB! I’ve been prototyping FaceMount prints on acrylic. I’ve seen Mr. Dave Goetter use a slad (not use if the spelling is correct) 1/8 in acrylic sheet with a double sided white non stick liner. I’m sadden to hear of his passing :( Do you have a video creating one? Or can you recommend which liner I can use? Is this absolutely necessary? Thanks for your help in advance 😊

Hi Michael, we spoke some time back regarding the acrylic mounting process. I just did my first test today and I have a few questions. I wonder if we could set up a quick 1 hour session to talk to you about my equipment, material and process and ask you a few questions. I see in your website that you offer one on one sessions. I am located in Miami, so it would have to be online. Let me know if this is something you could do?
