Digital BW, The Print

Hi Paul,
I don't have an image that shows it so you can get it.. The system I'm using in the studio I got from United Manufacturing ...It consistes of wood mouldings and sqare rods that are about 3/16 square ...Mine are silver in color to blend in with the walls better but they also have a gold color also I think. You can place as many small slidable metal hanger on a rod as you want.. The plus to this system is it will support a lot of weight ...so large pieces that are quite heavy are no issue .. 

What's in the house is more subtle.. It has an extrusion that mounts to the wall and this sytem use special brackets and sliders that work on cable that about the size of #4 or so picture hanging wire..  This set up is quite strong also but can't deal with the weight the other does ...You can see better what this looks liek here... http://gallerysystem.com/  This set up is less obtrusive looking as the wire is smaller.. Both work great but system from United is quite a bite less expensive..  You can get hanging rods 12' long or shorter..
  
For those that do art shows their is a system that works with display panels from  Armstrong and ProPanels..

  Do you a photo of your third hanging option.   I have been thinking of doing similar in my studio.

    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..

      I'm looking for ideas for how to display some matted but not framed prints.  All are 16*20", a mix of portrait and landscape.  I want the flexibility to swap in/out prints from my accumulations.

      I'm considering mounting a rail on a wall for prints sit on, but I'm looking for ideas on how to deal with the differing heights created by the portrait/landscape mix.  How can I neatly tack the top of the prints to the wall?

      Has anyone done anything clever to do something like this?

      Thanks!

      John P
