Idiots!, by imbue on Nov 30, 2009 22:14:20 GMT 1,
Finally picked up my INSA print on Friday and took it to a shop to get it framed up. I picked up the framed print today and it looked great. When I got it home I realised it was slightly wonky! I opened the back to find it stuck in with masking tape all the way around the print. Great! The tape is really strong and the print is basically f*cked
Will be going back tomorrow...

Idiots!, by manty on Nov 30, 2009 22:35:26 GMT 1, Shocking
Though i guess alot of these guys are used to framing athena type stuff, and dont realise unless you tell them what you want and how you want it, but an image framed wonky using masking tape is clearly indefensible
Good luck

If they skimp on insurance, then they will skimp on materials and technique. Do not be afraid to ask questions, most reputable framers are only too happy to explain things, it shows they take a pride in their work and their reputation.

You need to take this to a paper restorer and they should be able to get that tape off no problem, it;s only just be done so it should all come off.
You then need to bill the framers, tell them that this is what;s going to happen - nicely - if they don;t play ball you will have to take them to the small claims court. the paper restorer should be your professional witness, so tell them to document the damage, and you should walk it- shame you've got to do that though.
