Framing Tape • Archival Tape • Acid Free Tape, by iamzero on May 16, 2013 16:30:21 GMT 1, Don't use ph7-70... Hard to remove and not good. P90 is not bad if you have no experience of other water based tapes. Hayaku is what I use, moisten with a little DI water and apply but the top stuff is wheat based powder cooked up and applied to Japanese papers and then attached to the artwork.

Framing Tape • Archival Tape • Acid Free Tape, by Quinnster on Oct 28, 2013 17:57:48 GMT 1, Hi
I have just picked up a second hand frame and need the brown paper tape for the securing the rear of the frame to the back board. Do I need anything special or will any tape do?
What can I use and where can I get it from? Ideally from high st and cheap.
Thanks

Brown masking tape is what you want. You can usually find it on eBay for a few £ or maybe $'s in your case

I might try the masking tape for now could be a good quick fix till I source the correct stuff.

Framing Tape • Archival Tape • Acid Free Tape, by DameHoracia on May 16, 2014 12:15:29 GMT 1, I wonder if anyone can help. I did read through threads in this section and cannot see anything related other than the thread regarding the Japanese tape used on a Maya print I purchased a while ago.
Not sure if it's a big issue, but just received a print in the mail which had been removed from the frame. I noticed slight marks on the rear of the print ( only down one side, three marks each around an inch width ) where you can see that the tape was removed I imagine from how it had been framed. It doesn't seem to show on the front of the print, I just wondered if this could begin to show through in the future once framed or devalue the print?
It wasn't mentioned when purchasing and I stupidly didn't ask how it had been framed. Thank you in advance for any advice.

Framing Tape • Archival Tape • Acid Free Tape, by Hubble Bubble on May 16, 2014 12:21:27 GMT 1, Everyone will tell you it devalues the print. Me? If it was a print I wanted and I couldn't see some minor issues on the back which wouldn't be a problem for the future… I'd pay full whack.
But that's just me.
There are folk on here who like the print paper to have been hand rolled on the thighs of vestal virgins…

Framing Tape • Archival Tape • Acid Free Tape, by Deleted on May 16, 2014 12:31:26 GMT 1, It really depends...
If the tape is gone and just a few marks I would say don't worry. I have loads of artwork from the mid century and most if not all have been framed in the past. Marks on the back comes with the territory as the artwork gets older and older. The value is generally not diminished.
Only in one instance, in my collection, on a Claes Oldenburg print that was actually glued to a board then removed, did the glue residue eventually stain the front of the paper.
If you had some masking tape stuck to the back, eventually the acid would stain through.
However if it is a valuable piece, I would send off a picture and an email to a professional restoration person for an opinion.

Framing Tape • Archival Tape • Acid Free Tape, by DameHoracia on May 16, 2014 12:52:06 GMT 1, Thank you both. I don't think it is so bad that I would need to have it checked out by a restorer (hopefully not) as it will be framed. I just think it should have been mentioned. It's not deadly expensive but it is a print that I have wanted since its release in 06 so it will be loved. I appreciate you both posting your advice.

Framing Tape • Archival Tape • Acid Free Tape, by cerulean on Aug 1, 2014 15:59:08 GMT 1, I recently purchased Fairey's Vivi La Revolucion print in an auction on Ebay from a seller who previously had it professionally framed. The print was listed as "mint condition". I specifically asked if there was any adhesive residue etc when it was removed from the frame and was told it was in perfect condition.
When I received it, I discovered residue on the back of the print from where the tape was removed. The marks are all along the entire back edge and three vertical lines that run the length of the print. I was assured that the framer had used acid free tape. The front of the print is fine.
My question is how much does this affect the value of the print? I have the option of either returning the print or working out a discount. Any thoughts on what percentage would be fair?

Framing Tape • Archival Tape • Acid Free Tape, by johnnyh on Aug 1, 2014 16:12:35 GMT 1, This is an opinion and just that. Doubt seller will give you much but eBay does have it's rules etc. I personally think about 20% max but that's not based on anything other than my opinion. Also not having seen damage etc
But think for you discount yes if it happens. But work out now rather than in a dispute setting. If he/ she says no. Do you want the print. Eg it sounds as if it's fine as you see it which is great. It will only have an effect when you come to sell it.....that is when the damage will hit you in that you have a slightly damaged print. You could see a restorer and find out if they can do anything. Or do you just want to give it back and get rid.
Based on these two what percentage do you need to keep it as that's your baseline

Framing Tape • Archival Tape • Acid Free Tape, by Deleted on Aug 1, 2014 16:20:44 GMT 1, I can see 2 possible outcomes long term. I have seen both of these on older prints.
Acid free tape. Over time the paper patinates with sun exposure, humidity, etc. The acid free tape residue will slow that and create whiter spots in the front in maybe 20 years time.
Non acid free tape. Over the same period (20 years or more) the impurities in the residue can possibly stain the front. Again conditions mean a lot such as humidity.
Best to get a pro to remove it now.
Edit: you can see the "ghosting" effect of acid free tape verso on an old Claes Oldenburg print of mine from 1976. Not the lighter squares along the left edge and at the middle bottom.

Framing Tape • Archival Tape • Acid Free Tape, by Deleted on Aug 1, 2014 16:23:02 GMT 1, If you're brave and it is indeed acid free, just moisten your finger with water and brush over the residue, let it sit a second and wipe off with clean cloth, it is just basically wheat paste and should come right off.
Edit: This may be a quick test to determine if it is acid free. But to do all of the edges will result in some moisture soaking the print and it will wrinkle up. I have only done it with very small amounts of residue from a pair of acid free hinge mounts when I reframed something.

Framing Tape • Archival Tape • Acid Free Tape, by nacional on Aug 1, 2014 17:42:28 GMT 1, I think I am right in saying ALL framing processes will damage a print, albiet to a lesser extent.
What this means when you have a Banksy print worth 10K, I have no idea.
I have taken a couple of my B prints to be framed, but have bottled out when the framer looks to be terrified when I mention value of prints...so, they sit stupidly in the folder between sheets of tissue paper etc...

Use Mylar mounting strips. Zero adhesive. The strip will be stuck to the backing board, the print sits snug within the mylar strip and the mount or mat will cover the strip!
Probably a bad explanation but it means everything is archival and no glue/tape/starch on the print.
I wouldnt use anything else unless its deckled and needs to be floated.
Hope that means a banksy or two can get on the wall!

Framing Tape • Archival Tape • Acid Free Tape, by cerulean on Aug 1, 2014 21:39:50 GMT 1, Thank you everyone!!! I'm relatively new to the forum and very much appreciate all your help! I may decide to return this print and wait to get one in mint condition. All of your info is very helpful as I do have several other prints that I am planning on framing and want to make sure they're done properly. Sounds like Mylar strips are the best way to go.

Framing Tape • Archival Tape • Acid Free Tape, by Nick on Aug 1, 2014 22:13:35 GMT 1, They work perfectly on bigger sizes. Ive used them on prints upto 110cm x 70 cm and all good.
You need to make sure they are placed correctly so theres no room for the print to slip around and they will definitely hold.
They're 4" long so on the bigger prints i will use maybe 3 evenly spread on the top and 3 on the bottom. You can also buy 10" or 12 " ones i beleive for even more support.
Don't get these confused with the mylar corners, they're only good for small sizes and tend to be pretty flimsy as theres no real base support to counteract gravity!

Don't get these confused with the mylar corners, they're only good for small sizes and tend to be pretty flimsy as theres no real base support to counteract gravity!

Framing Tape • Archival Tape • Acid Free Tape, by alittle on Aug 1, 2014 22:21:04 GMT 1, I use mylar photocorners to mount anything with a mat. My preferred method of framing and will not cause damage upon removal. I have used on prints up to 25x30 inches, although I don't see why they wouldn't work on larger prints as well.
