The Lab, artwork by Maciej Kuciara

Diasec® is a transparent gel and patented process used for facemounting prints against acrylic glass. Because of the different light penetration and refraction of our acrylic glass compared to normal glass, the colors of a print behind acrylic glass will show to be more brilliant and the image sharper when compared to standard glass. The Diasec®/Acrylic glass process also makes the print resistant to ultraviolet (UV) light and is therefore the standard for museum-grade usage. Cook & Becker uses Dibond as a carrier for Diasec®/Acrylic glass prints and photo's. The result is a completely flat mount that comes ready to hang.

Liquid Gloss is an epoxy resin that gets poured on top of the print after it's mounted on Dibond and has been cleared of dust. This is precision work and afterwards the epoxy needs to harden for several days. The end result is a beautuful, clear and high-gloss protective layer with rounded edges and corners. Liquid Gloss has the same contrast enhancing qualities as Diasec with acrylic glass but saturates the colors slightly, making for a very vibrant piece or artwork.
