RE: [Digital BW] Framing with no mat or spacer

2011-03-22 by EJ Neilsen

I'd make sure the client knows that it is NOT recommended to present an
image this way and you will not warranty the print if displayed in that
manner. Suggest some other better ways. Have you thought about laminating to
plexi or glass( not my choice) with transparent adhesive? Or mounting to a
board to provide a rigid substrate to will prevent buckling.

Arthur,
Your client is asking for trouble. Use a spacer.. You can purchase a spacer
for this but often I just use a strip of acid free matt attached to the
frame rabbit. Works fine.

Subject: [Digital BW] Framing with no mat or spacer

A client has asked for one of my prints framed with no mat, and no spacer.

I'm hesitant to do this -- worried that the print-glass junction 
could be a problem. Would there be condensation, moire rings, 
mildew? Would the print buckle a bit and leave a gap in some 
places? Or, or my fears groundless?

If I do end up using spacers of some kind, can you offer any 
guidance? Particular type, brand, style?

I print on matte papers -- typically proofing on EEM and final prints 
on Moab Entrada Natural. The brand may change, but this series won't 
be printed on a gloss or semi-gloss paper.

Thanks much,

Arthur Fink
