Re: [Digital BW] adhesion of print to mat

2011-10-26 by Joseph Chandler

Thanks to all you folks for your responses.  In a way I'm new to this, I've never really sold pictures before ( I shoot and give files).  Anyway, I use what I think are good papers, I'm always checking various papers for their "look".  The picture that buckled was on Ilford "Smooth Pearl", as were some others.  Another print was on MOAB "Lasal".   I'm using an EPSON 2400 and/or 1800 with Epson inks and sometimes EPSON papers.  I have some MUSEO, and have tried Hannamuel (mis spelled?).  I have also tried MIS Black inks. I probably should set up a MIS system, but thats later.  Right now I'm trying to get around the "buckling" problem.

Joseph,
I think I know what your talking about.. but am a little confused with the term back matt.. Prints are often mounted to a substrate like foam core.. Their are a few materials we print on ...like Epson prem semi matt that have caused a lot of problems for artists and framers.. I doubt you'd know what adhesive was used but if you can tell me what material the image was printed on I think I can help you.

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.
