It is strongly recommended that charts be mounted on a smooth flat surface, like an acrylic board, to ensure no blemishes, bends, or bubbles occur that negatively impact image quality measurements. Imatest offers the option to professionally mount our test charts on acrylic or E-panel.  

Discuss mounting/framing of your targets with your sales engineer to have your quote include mounted charts. The ability to order select targets with framing will be coming to Imatest’s online store in the near future.
