Digital BW, The Print

David
Something is missing for me on this thread.. We don't know what material the images are printed on. Maybe I missed it... If it was a fine art paper then yes they should not be mounted as they were.. If, however , they are a photographic type material is deemed acceptable to mount them to a substrate.. That last remark being said.. Epson has come out with a couple of newer papers that have defied most of the traditional mounting methods.. I have been at public displays where an artist was literally in tears due this ...Image puckers from delamming ...Anyway I was part of a test group sometime ago working with Seal to better understand what adhesive films were causing issues and which were proper to get past the issues.. We got there..There are still many framers that are doing it the old way and scrapping prints. Anyway, If the prints are mounted and this occurs typically they are scrap.. There are a few adhesive films that can be "undone" when ran back thru the heat cycle but generally the print is damaged in the process. So does anyone know what the prints were ran on?

  >>> 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.

  BEFORE you take them back, look to see how it was done. Your prints may be
  permanently damaged. You need to know exactly what has happened before you
  give the framer an opportunity to hide his mistake or do even more damage.
  If he in fact ruined your prints, he absolutely WILL NOT know what if
  anything can be done to rectify it.
