Pagemount vs Overlay
We offer a few types of matted album — Overlay Matted, Duo and Musée —and one of the important differences between them is whether the prints are mounted Overlay or Pagemount style. So what's the difference?
Overlay: Industry-wide, almost all matted albums are overlay mounted, so overlays may not be new to you. Details may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, but the photographs are attached behind the mat, which covers and conceals the edge of the prints. You can see this clearly in the first photograph.

Pagemount: In Pagemount albums each photograph is trimmed to fit inside the mat, exposing the core page beneath. This creates a striking key line around each of the images, which you can see clearly in the second photograph.

Designing a Pagemount Duo
We recommend using our free album design service, or, if you wish to do the design yourself, Photojunction.
Some photographers do submit a preliminary design but if so we will need to redesign in Photojunction. There is no charge for this, but an exact replication of the design submitted is not possible. You should allow for a gap of about 16mm (5/8”) gap between images. That’s a combination of the gap between apertures plus the amount trimmed off the prints. Close cropping will cause problems. Please enquire first.
See more about Duo albums in our Help Centre article.
