PRINT RESTORATION ADVISE, by seba on Nov 24, 2009 18:52:10 GMT 1, The problem is:
Small creases and a streak on an expensive print.
Can anyone on here name a good restorer/ conservartor?
Does anyone have any good advice or experience?
What would it cost to get it restored?
Thank you!

How much do you think, that it would cost roughly?

I've read John Jones charge iro £150, but if it's an expensive print it'll be worth it. At the end of the day you get what you pay for.

I've had a few things done at John Jones and could not speak more highly of them.
They really are the best in the business (... you only need to look at the recent Neate show to see what they can do).
They are expensive but they'll get more out of your print than anyone else I reckon.
(... sounds like I have a vested interest... I don't... but genuinely feel like they have done a brilliant job on my stuff).

what kind of 'streak' ? ink or mark ?
recommendation ? where are you seba ?
I've used them ... they do good work if they're registered ...!
cost ? - depends on the damage.
>crease not high
>serious damage - higher...
(..if it's been cut anywhere - it gets interesting... and can get scary..)

PRINT RESTORATION ADVISE, by dodge on Nov 24, 2009 22:56:56 GMT 1, Graham Bignell did a fantastic job for me. He charged £95 for touching up a small scrape and taking out a crease. It took him a few weeks to do it as he was very busy but he did a fantastic job. I couldn't recommend him highly enough.

PRINT RESTORATION ADVISE, by Andy'77 on Jun 5, 2010 9:02:23 GMT 1, I've just had a print restored by Graham Bignell and can't recommend him enough, the print in question had been dry mounted to non-archival card with pressure sensitive adhesive, picked it up yesterday and it looks brand new. Very happy indeed. Thanks to those for pointing me in Graham's direction.

PRINT RESTORATION ADVISE, by stillborncrisps on Jun 5, 2010 10:17:01 GMT 1, Is it possible to rescue dry mounted prints then?
Maybe I got the wrong end of the stick, but I thought Gary (mr frameman) had indicated in other threads that it was not possible?

That's what I thought as well, would be god if that wasn't the case as I have one print that I know is dry mounted

PRINT RESTORATION ADVISE, by curiousgeorge on Jun 5, 2010 13:30:19 GMT 1, Drymounted can be rescued depending on a few variables, again cost would depend on variables.
Interesting that more and more of these threads appear, when not long ago more than a few people thought conservation/archival/preservation framing methods were a framers trick to 'upsell'
From day one I've always wanted my Art preserved, I've bought some equipment to fix some large pano format prints with bad ripples/cockling, works a treat everytime

PRINT RESTORATION ADVISE, by jackstranger on Jun 5, 2010 13:44:12 GMT 1, So, should one never dry mount a print?
I left a D*Face print in my framer to dry mount (my first dry mount print). I was assured that the tape is harmless and that it is acid free, etc.
what is your opinion?

PRINT RESTORATION ADVISE, by Andy'77 on Jun 5, 2010 14:32:28 GMT 1, I'd spoken to a few other restorers and got the sense that it may not be possible. I guess it might depend on the adhesive used, this was pressure sensitive adhesive which is meant to be permanent but it definitely was reversible in my case.

Don't get having a mount around your print (which is fine) and glueing a backing board to your print (which is bad)

PRINT RESTORATION ADVISE, by jackstranger on Jun 5, 2010 19:53:01 GMT 1, Thank you craigf,
in this case the print would be 'taped' on the back with a special tape to a big archival mount sheet, and then a square mount around the print, so the museum glass would not touch it.
This tape 'glues' in both sides of it, and I was assured it to be harmless. It is very thin and seems not to be strong at all. I see so many works framed this way in here. Do you think this is bad for the print?
(I think this is float mount and not dry mount?!?!?)

There are people on here that know about what sort of tape to use and others use corners so there is no adhesive on the print at all. What you describe is the normal way most prints are framed. I am sure if I checked most of mine will have been done this way. That said the last ones I had framed used no adhesives at all, which for me is the best option

Thank you again 
I will check with the framers more details prior to advance with the process.
However, I tend to trust them as they run their business from about 20 years and they work with galleries, artists and for the Presidential Palace too. But it is my artwork and I need to be sure...
