The finished print is then permanently mounted (glued) to medium density fiberboard (MDF) and framed under glass. The second art print under consideration is printed via offset lithography onto matte coated paper using a Komori Lithrone G40 press. The finished print is then permanently mounted (glued) to an MDF backing and framed under glass. The finished work measures 17” x 17”.
