There are several printing surfaces to choose from: glossy and luster are the two I've used. When doing your on print and mounting it on dibond, you can "laminate" with either satin or gloss as far as I am aware. There is a block mounted on the back to hold it or, as I prefer, a wood cleat hanger http://diffusercity.com/how-they-mount/ Of course with the print mounted on aluminum, you don't have to laminate it, but then the print is unprotected. Same process as gatorboard... Is that what you were asking Jayanand?
