Digital BW, The Print

Thanks for the quick response.  Also thanks for the info. about NOT adhesiving a print to a mat, I kind of thought it shouldn't be done that way.  I'm going to take the print(s) back to the framer and show him the outcome.   Maybe he can straighten this out, these prints were special and I hate to give/sell anyone "crappy" work.

Subject: Re: [Digital BW] adhesion of print to mat


  
>>> 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.
