I have a c-type photograph printed on Fuji Crystal Archival paper that is 50" x 63". I'd like to mount it to Dibond (ACM) panel but can't find anyone local with the know-how or equipment to handle limited edition fine art of this scale. Is there anyone in the Midwest region (I'm in Columbus, OH) that can do this? Hinging isn't an option - it needs to be mounted flat and I'd prefer it to be done with a ph neutral adhesive like Gudy 831 but I only have a 40x60 vacuum press and i really don't want to buy an $900 roll of adhesive for one job.
 
As a specialist provider of this service (but we are not in USA) I would not use Gudy 831 for this job , as it is designed for use with textured fine art papers. You need to use Gudy 802 instead.

From the Neschen web site:
"gudy® 802 is a double-sided permanent adhesive mounting film for cold lamination of digital and analog prints on many sheet materials. The product has a dimensionally stable polyester carrier and is particularly suitable for mounting smooth photo papers. It is suitable for both monochrome and color prints. gudy® 802 is ideal for producing self-adhesive plates. The pH-neutral, water-based and age-resistant adhesive prevents catalytic processes. The quality and value of the print are ensured in the long term. gudy® 802 has passed the Photographic Activity Test (PAT) according to ISO 18916."

However we actually use a double sided face mounting film for mounting Fujiflex images such as yours. Because of the super high glass of the photo surface and the polyester media, you want to use the smoothest backing adhesive also. This will avoid any "orange peel" effect.
