Mould spots on print ๐, by moomintroll on Sept 3, 2018 14:12:27 GMT 1, Hi there,
So, this is my first post  I have no idea if this is in the correct place, am sure silky will move it if not.
Ive just got back a bit of art I've had in storage and a distraught to open this and find mould spots, argh!! Help and advice needed from you lovely ppl necessary please.
Can it be restored? Any idea of cost? Or is it effectively ruined 
Hope the image link thing worked??
I modelled my avatar pic on invaders Clyde btw, hope you like it

The mould is just around the edges so print isn't completely ruined, hopefully it doesn't get any worse.

Wishing you much success.
And thanks for posting, as it makes us realize the importance of proper professional storage. The costs are higher but it may prevent problems like this....

If you have anything else in that storage room get them out!

Mould spots on print ๐, by racket on Sept 3, 2018 14:45:26 GMT 1, Are the spots more brown in person? Can be hard to tell between foxing or mold. Was the storage facility a humidity and temperature controlled environment? Were other works affected?

Mould spots on print ๐, by GMA on Sept 3, 2018 15:20:19 GMT 1, Why has it become mouldy? I hope this isn't a problem for anyone with an archival portfolio 
It's got me worried lol
I have prints stored in an acid free archival plastic sleeve and they sit in a portfolio which is zipped up.
There's one print I have framed....in the bathroom and I expect that to damage eventually due to moisture and steam... but the folio I'd have though would be fine.
Where were these stored?

My exact thought.
Assuming they've been kept in a container/garage or something. My secret under the bed storage will hopefully still be ok!

Oh I know mate, the print is that Eelus one with the guy floating on the water. I framed it myself too, knowing full well it'll eventually be destroyed.... but it's a good place for it and raises a smile whenever I'm taking a leak

Maybe because it has been stored between paper sheets over time moisture has got into it?
Makes me wonder if my Date by Death which is still in original packaging has a little surprise for me ... hopefully not

No they are not more brown in person, not heard of foxing before either??
wasnโt a controlled environment either, just regular house storage & nothing else discovered so far affected, maybe the type of paper itโs wrapped in?
