DIY: using adhesives on a poster in a frame enquiry, by New Wave Dave on Mar 10, 2022 3:03:13 GMT 1, Hi all.
I tend to use off-the-shelf frames such as Ikea offers. One thing I have difficulty with is getting the print to stay in place, whether under a matting or without a mat (see example below). What is the best way to keep these prints in place and not slipping down? I have stayed away from using any adhesives entirely but perhaps there are some print-safe adhesives that come off without leaving a mark..?
Not sure if anyone has had any experience using Lineco Self-Adhesive Linen Tape or Lineco Self-Adhesive Mounting/Hinging Tissue. Or just simple double-sided removable scotch tape.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Plus one on these mounting strips. I've used them a few times with a single 8ply mat, or double mat setup. Super easy.

These are called pass through hinges and is a correct way to mount. If a framer suggest rolling up a hinge to use on the back of your print I would find another framer. Personally wouldn’t use anything that needs something other than DI water to remove.
