Re: [Digital BW] Suggestions for displaying matted prints

2014-02-08 by ann clancy

google "salon hanging".

Of course if all these are already printed that may not be a good option, but something to think about going forward.

This is the way I hang work.

three options come to mind..  One is to 
use what referred to as a clip frame.. This allows a piece of glass or acrylic 
to be over the image to protect it and included in this assembly is a rear 
mount.. These ar eeasily dissambled and replacing the image with another is a no 
brainer..
 
Option two is to just rig up something on the back 
of your image that you can hang it from and use the new removable wall 
mounts  (no holes)  available at most hardware  stores and 
online.. 
 
Option three (which I do here) is to use a wall 
mounted rail and from that use braided wire or a hanging rod to hang from 
...this way you can arrange the images and even over lap them at different 
heights.. I have my entire studio set up this way.. I liked it so much that it 
is now added to most of the house so it's really easy to make changes..
