Plywerk can be purchased asBlank Panels(with or without adhesive) or you canUpload & Orderyour own images and take advantage of our printing and photo mounting services. Plywerk panels come in 25+ different sizes, are available in Bamboo and Maple and utilize a keyhole slot on the back for easy hanging.

The bamboo plywood is ¾" carbonized vertical grain bamboo. Bamboo is a grass and its fast growth makes it a very sustainable material. The maple plywood is a cabinet quality ½" solid birch/alder core with maple face veneer.

Both the bamboo and maple plywoods we use are FSC certified to ensure the material is manufactured using environmentally sustainable practices. Transparent PH neutral adhesive protects the images from the natural acids in the wood and provides an extremely reliable bond between the images and the Plywerk panel.

Images are printed on Fuji and Kodak silver-halide papers. Besides the superior color reproduction these prints have excellent ozone resistance to ensure superior lightfastness (resistance to fading).

We offer the following c-type paper finishes:

• Lustre - Not quite matte and not quite glossy. Lustre (also referred to as Satin) has excellent color saturation without the "sheen" that can be a hinderance in glossy print finishes.


• Glossy - A very reflective/ high sheen finish with maximum saturation. Good when high color saturation is a must.


• Metallic - Described by many photographers as a "chrome on paper" effect. Kodak metallic prints offer a rich, distinctive metallic (pearlescent/iridescent) look that catches the eye. It works especially well on images with strong contrast and/or black and white images.

Ink-jet printing is the highest quality photographic and reproduction type printing available today. Through a combination of ink-jet printing technology, numerous paper finishes and archival inks, it can produce the sharpest, richest and most vibrant reproductions imaginable.

The key benefit to ink-jet printing is the option to print on a wide variety of paper finishes. For photographic type images, there are papers available which retain the look and feel of traditional photographic type surfaces. For artists and designers who are looking for reproductions that retain the quality of their original medium, there are canvas and watercolor paper choices, that most often create prints that are hard to distinguish from the original artwork. All our exhibition quality paper finishes are acid free cotton based papers that produce archival prints.
