Print Slips/Moves/Drops in Frame, by psycho666 on Nov 22, 2011 22:41:33 GMT 1, I'm going to finally frame a print that I've had for some time. I've got the frame (Ikea) and I'm buying a custom mount online. I've tested to see how the print looks in the frame but noticed that the print slips down in the large frame.
I don't want to glue anything but is it normal to add a bit of tape at the top and bottom to stop it from moving?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Many thanks,
Psycho666

Personally I always aim to for true preservation framing and divide the cost over the years of enjoyment and dare I say it peace of mind

You got me thinking and I remembered how a print was sent to me from White Cube. They used folded paper that fitted over the corners of the print and then they were taped to the wooden backing.
I might try something similar and cut the corners off some envelopes and then add those to the corners of the print and then tape them to the mount. Therefor the tape won't touch the actual print.
