Re: [Digital BW] adhesion of print to mat

2011-10-26 by David Kachel

>>> 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.

I guess I should expand more. From your description (more information is
definitely needed; look inside the mattes!) it sounds as though your prints
have been dry mounted or perhaps a spray adhesive has been used. In either
case, your framer has destroyed your prints and there is no saving them.
(Dry mounting was the "recommended" method decades ago, but is now
definitely a no-no. Spray adhesives are unspeakable!)
