Advice please on framed print, by kendo on Feb 2, 2013 17:59:36 GMT 1, I've had the following print framed and as you can see it is starting curve out!

It is hinged at the top only using Japanese hinging paper. Has this happened to anyone else? Any suggestions on how it can be fixed or alternative framing ideas?

I have taken it back to the framer and he is reluctant to put any further hinging paper onto it. He has suggested to put a mount on without touching the print leaving a small offset and then bringing the museum glass down onto the mount. The only issue with this idea is that the print (in parts) will touch the glass, the musuem glass is ph neutral but I always thought that it wasn't a good idea for the print to touch the glass!

I think the reason that the print is curving out at the sides is that the ink is heavily focused on the centre with nothing to balance the edges.

Any ideas / thoughts or would it be better to just leave it as it is and allow it to settle naturally!?

Thanks
