Re: [Digital BW] Print "cracking" issue

2011-07-05 by Mark Savoia

I wish I could check it out again but the print is not local and the client had to "fit me in" to his schedule to view it in his home.
You know how it can be...

That is what I am thinking but I can not be the only person out there that has made a print this size with the same framing setup unless it is an environmental issue, too dry or damp. The framer says he leaves small weep holes in the paper backing.
