Standoff prints offer a sleek, modern way to display your artwork or photography. Standoff wall mounts add dimension to your art by holding the print slightly off the wall, giving it a floating effect.

Whether you choose acrylic or metal, standoff prints create a gallery-quality presentation that truly sets your art apart. Best of all, the standoff installation process is the same across all materials, making it easy to achieve a professional look with any print!

With just a few basic tools and easy-to-follow steps, you’ll have your artwork up in no time, creating a stunning, modern focal point for your space. We’ll talk you through the process step by step!

BONUS: Watch the video below that demonstrates each step in the process.

Tools and Equipment Needed

  • Tools: Bubble level, measuring tape, drill or screwdriver.
  • Hardware: Wall anchors (if necessary), screws, standoff mounts, protective washers.

Standoff Mounts and Instructions Included

When you purchase a standoff-mounted print from ArtisanHD, we make the installation process easy! Each print comes with the necessary standoff hardware, so you won’t need to worry about buying extra parts.

We also include clear, printed instructions to guide you through hanging your artwork, ensuring a seamless and professional display.

Step 1: Position the Print

  • Check Print with a Bubble Level: Ensure your print is level.
  • Mark All Four Corners: Mark the placement of the holes with a pencil.

When you order a print with standoffs, your artwork will come with 4 holes pre-cut into the print surface. Each hole is slightly oversized for optimal hanging alignment, in case you’re hanging measurements happen to be off by just a touch.

Pro Tip: Teamwork makes the dream work! Grab a friend for this step to assist with leveling the print and marking the corners. That second set of hands will be helpful, plus you’ll have someone to admire the art with when you’re done!

Step 2: Insert Anchors and Standoffs

  • Drill in Anchors (if necessary): Use wall anchors if mounting on drywall.
  • Unscrew Standoff Covers: Remove the caps from the standoff mounts.
  • Push Wall Screw through the Base: Insert screws into the base of the standoffs.
  • Attach Standoffs: Screw them securely into your surface.

Step 3: Hang Your Print

  • Place Print Over Standoffs: Align it with the mounted bases.
  • Screw in Standoff Covers: Add protective washers and screw in the covers.
  • Check with Bubble Level: Ensure the print is straight and make any adjustments.
  • Tighten Standoff Covers: Make sure they’re secure.

And voila – your print now floats beautifully, giving your space a gallery-worthy look!
