Re: [Digital BW] adhesion of print to mat

2011-10-26 by David Kachel

>>> Recently I had some prints matted and framed by a profesional framer.  At a
later date (three days later) I noticed that the prints were starting to
"pucker" away from the back mat.  Can this be prevented?  Is there some archival
adhesive that can be used?  Is this a normal occurance?  Any help will be
appreciated as this is unsightly.


You have to supply more information than that.
How is the print attached to the matte now?
Never attach a print to a matte with adhesives. (The only exception:
Japanese hinges.)

Sounds like your "professional framer" wasn't so professional after all.
Remember, you don't need to pass a test or get a license to hang a shingle
as a framer, and that's exactly the qualifications most of them have.
