KAWS "things that comfort" print, by ca on Oct 12, 2017 1:24:56 GMT 1, well if you want your print to be floated, good chance there will be slight curls on the side. I would never put a plexi directly on the print, you always need some distance between the two. If the curls bug you too much you can always get it reframed with mattes

If the curls bug you too much you can always get it reframed with mattes I agree that you shouldn't put the plexiglass directly on the print....im thinking of just taking it to a high end framer and have him reframe it. |

KAWS "things that comfort" print, by Inknart on Oct 12, 2017 1:47:11 GMT 1, I thought floating was great when I first started collecting. I now only float prints with deckled edges. I think a nice matte with a good frame makes a huge difference and adds a certain classy look.

KAWS "things that comfort" print, by saintred88 on Oct 12, 2017 1:59:18 GMT 1, ok thats good to hear, I thought maybe it was just a crappy framer who did the job. So I guess thats normal

KAWS "things that comfort" print, by saintred88 on Oct 12, 2017 2:05:18 GMT 1, I have a question.....Does an art print de-value if there is no archivable sticker when purchasing a framed art print?
Mine doesn't seem to have had one. Only the Authenticity paper from the gallery.

Only if the wave bothers you. I have a few floated prints that have become a little wavy over time as temperatures and humidity levels change. Doesnโt take away from the art. They still look great.

KAWS "things that comfort" print, by Unica on Oct 12, 2017 2:31:22 GMT 1, I think it looks pretty good to me, floats aren't perfect the paper expands and contracts. I'm not a big fan of matts and wouldn't have any of my prints matted. I've heard to many stories of staining, discoloration when the matt is removed even with UV glass/plex. One never knows what the future holds and if I had to sell in a pinch, the first thing a buyer usually asks is to have the print unframed. Most buyers expect prints to be perfect these days..

KAWS "things that comfort" print, by saintred88 on Oct 12, 2017 4:22:46 GMT 1, thank you all for your feedback!! Not too sure what I'm going to do.. a friend told me that I should just leave the current matte on and not replace it. Maybe I will put a board frame that overlaps the print just a half inch in so it presses down on the wavy curling areas. Don't know what I will do!!!

KAWS "things that comfort" print, by saintred88 on Oct 12, 2017 6:19:55 GMT 1, Can a print be considered archival if lets say I remove the matte board I currently have on by a professional framer and he is able to successfully remove the print from the matte without any damage to the back of the print?.....

Whats the best way to preserve my art if I want to sell it down the road? Would it be best to leave the original matte on there? or should I try and have it removed by a professional master framer and see if no damages occur? Im just kinda pissed because I just had a local framer put together the frame for me and he ripped off the gallery authentication off the back of the matte leaving a small abrasion from the tape. |

What matte are you talking about? The framed picture you posted doesn't have a matte (card frame around the picture)
What gallery authentication was ripped off? From what gallery? Had someone stuck the COA from Pace to the back of the frame? Apply to Pace for another one perhaps.
If it's been reframed to archive standards, and with UV protection glass/perspex, then get something from the framer to say that. A receipt for what has been done, or something like that.

KAWS "things that comfort" print, by Happy Shopper on Oct 12, 2017 17:26:30 GMT 1, The matte that has the actual print floating on it. The gallery just taped their authentication with some clear tape but seemed to leave a light tape abrasion when the framer accidentally tore it off.....I just couldn't believe it when he told me it was accidental.....thats the last time I bring such an expensive print to a cheap framer.
Do you mean the backing board, on the reverse of the frame?
If it was an "authentication" from anyone other than Pace then I wouldn't worry about it.
