Framing Tape • Archival Tape • Acid Free Tape, by kultur on Aug 23, 2014 3:26:00 GMT 1, You just bought something with all your money and you want to frame it yourself... having no idea on what to use? Please listen:
DO NOT FRAME IT YOURSELF.
If you arent going to listen, then use Lineco self adhesive linen tape - less chance you will fcuk up the print with moisture and it is completely reversible and acid free. Make sure you use museum board - not just acid free.

Framing Tape • Archival Tape • Acid Free Tape, by Deleted on Aug 23, 2014 3:51:42 GMT 1, I've DIY framed tons of prints before with great success - just never floated with spacers. What makes the self adhesive tape better than the Japanese tape - besides not having to wet it? I've read that the Japanese tape has a better chance of not leaving residue when reversed? thx

Framing Tape • Archival Tape • Acid Free Tape, by kultur on Aug 23, 2014 4:11:46 GMT 1, Floating is NOT the same. Read my earlier advice.
If you do not adhere it right it will slip the mount - sometimes just because of a change in humidity. Even done right, a mount might slip over time and that often leads to damaged corners. What kind of hinges, how many hinges to use, where to hinge and how big to make your hinges... not an exact science... much less of an exact science when you have extremely limited framing experience.
All this craziness about something on the back of a print is paranoia and ridiculous. As long as it is acid free and reversible there is no worry. From my experience, much less residue with self adhesive linen tape than anything else and the best bond as it is consistent. Gummed tapes are for experts and I mean experts. I think these are on watercolor paper also... not sure.

Framing Tape • Archival Tape • Acid Free Tape, by Balboa on Oct 13, 2014 9:14:20 GMT 1, Am I wrong to avoid buying something I really like because it has tape damage on the reverse?
It's not going to be visible in a frame but something tells me that I'm not going to be able to block out the fact that it's there.
I think my standards may be too high when it comes to condition.
It's a 2003 signed Banksy.

Framing Tape • Archival Tape • Acid Free Tape, by Trevorm on Oct 13, 2014 9:31:47 GMT 1, It has an effect on price - if you're going to keep it as an investment.
Doesn't bother me too much, I've got a framed HMV that I know has tape issues + probable discolouration from being mounted and stuck in a Neilsen frame when it was originally purchased from AR in Brighton about 10 years ago. Still looks great.

It's a 2003 signed Banksy. Lots of early Banksys were framed using masking tape etc, they were cheap prints so people werent likely to spend 100's on conservation framing, lots have tape removal marks, better the non conservation tape removed and leave a tape mark on the back than leave it there to do more damage in the long run, if it hasnt damaged the print image/front then isnt a big issue, lots of early banksys have issues of some sort, tape removal on the back is a minor issue imo if it hasnt affected the image/front of the print, the banksy print market will have to have to be more leniant to minor issues as so many have them, they were handled like cheaper prints rather than investable works of art. Obviously one without tape issues will be worth a bit more

Framing Tape • Archival Tape • Acid Free Tape, by Happy Shopper on Oct 13, 2014 10:06:26 GMT 1, I'm pretty sure many high value prints you see at auction, making 100s of thousands, like Warhol prints, etc, all have some kind of similar damage. They're bound to. I have bought prints with tape damage. It doesn't bother me. It's on the back!

Get them on the wall and bloody enjoy them ffs If it wasn't north of £6k then I wouldn't be quite so concerned.

Get them on the wall and bloody enjoy them ffs Haha, you are quit right in that. I have been to galleries where they were using gloves for the prints that was so called street art / urban art. A print or canvas or other mixed media thing should 'live'. What I mean is that people should be able to touch it, that it can damage a little bit over time.
As long as it is not heavily damaged, you should enjoy art. So without seeing the background of your Banksy print, I can only ask to you: Do you enjoy the art? If so, keep enjoying. :-)

Framing Tape • Archival Tape • Acid Free Tape, by siveone on Mar 25, 2015 21:47:50 GMT 1, I recommend Neschen P90 (regular). The P90plus is too strong. For pasting some papers and backboards (not the artwork) P90plus is usefull. But for the prints P90 is perfect. In case of reframing or putting the artwork out of the frame you should leave the tape on the artwork and just cut it of. The acid-free tape wont hurt the paper, but the removing might damage it. Just use smal stripes.
Good luck.

What's your reasoning behind it Roy? I've been gathering everything I need to begin Some DIY framing myself and have yet to settle on archival tape or corners. I know tape is safer if the frame were to fall, but is it a better piece of mind not to use tape at all?

Framing Tape • Archival Tape • Acid Free Tape, by Lroy on Mar 26, 2015 15:30:17 GMT 1, Yes. The prints never move and I can sell - If I sell one - them without any damages.
I don't put tape behind the print or the Marie-Louise ( picture mount ) to don't spoil it . OR, if it happened to me once or twice to do that, it's only to hold the print during seconds.
I put the frame upside down ( the glass beside the ground), I try to find the right balance for the print (upside down also) that I put directly on the glass or the edges of the Marie-Louise ( picture mount ) ; and then I immediately put the back of the frame ( the piece of wood or cardboard ) and I hold it very tight. Then, like a pancake, I returned the whole frame quickly ( still holdint it very tight ) . 1. If I see that the print is right, I nail it in the wood of the frame then poses the Scotch behind the whole framework. 2. If I see that the print is not straight, I try to adjust by inserting a finger (gloved) between the glass and the frame to reposition

Framing Tape • Archival Tape • Acid Free Tape, by beatztom on Apr 2, 2015 8:46:34 GMT 1, I've just finished floating a print with Japanese paper and a mix of tylose, ethanol and water. I used four hinges and some spacers to support the middle part of the print. I'm pretty happy with the result.
Before throwing myself into this project I experimented exhaustedly with various amounts of glue and different styles of paper. In all cases I was able to reverse the process with absolutely no damage to the piece. In 90% of cases I just had to pull gently on the hinge and it would come off without tearing anything. The trick is to have enough surface contact to hold the art properly but not too much that it gets tricky to remove the hinge, I suppose....
In the case that the hinges don't come off mechanically, the advantage of tylose is that you can reactivate it with a bit of water and thus proceed to safe removal of the hinge.
All these techniques I learnt from a specialist, who's job it is to restore, frame and conserve paper artworks. This person also supplied me with the appropriate materials and methodology.
A couple of points to take into consideration:
Use acid free mounting supports. Also the frame should not be made of wood which has been glued: MDF plywood etc... Uv plexi or treated glass is better. (I used normal glass because I live in a dark Parisian appartement and made sure my art never gets direct sunlight, plus I couldn't afford the special glass....)
Good luck with framing!
PS: I built the frame myself.

I know tape is safer if the frame were to fall, but is it a better piece of mind not to use tape at all? hi sic, these are not your only two options. I like to use spacers under the lip of the frame to give a distance between the print and the artwork. You can get spacers in different colours and materials. I like to use perspex one but depends on the piece. So the print is pressed up against the spacers and does not need any adhesives of any sort and is very stable in its position. You can see an example of a Zanda Frog framed this way on my homepage www.printcave.co.uk/
I got my spacers from Lion Picture Framers, they do have a minimum order though.

Plexi glass is made with pretty nasty stuff mostly petrol I guess, and I'm not sure that in the long run that should be in contact with paper. I'll try and find out from an authoritative source

Framing Tape • Archival Tape • Acid Free Tape, by avec art on Apr 2, 2015 17:10:52 GMT 1, To answer the comments above, Lion Picture Framers are leading framing specialist suppliers, a lot of framers source their material from them.
They say this about their spacers 'extruded from acid-free polymers and with no plasticisers. Help you create a space between the artwork and the glass.'.
So I think you can feel safe about using them. With regard to the chance that spacers could press a crease ... well I think I don't have enough experience to say. Only that it's never happened to me. The prints I generally frame employ heavy paper, usually around 300 gsm. So it might be more likely to happen with lighter papers. But I think because the pressure is evenly distributed around the print this doesn't seem to happen.
One possible issue with this method, is that if the print suffered any yellowing from sunlight, and later you were to take it out of the frame, the boarder part which was covered might remain brighter in colour - however the same is true if you used a passepartout.
a variety of spacers can be found on their website www.lionpic.co.uk/

Framing Tape • Archival Tape • Acid Free Tape, by bruhbruh on Apr 2, 2015 19:17:08 GMT 1, Japanese hinging (kind of like a wheat paste) for sure... don't use a non reversible tape and ruin the print... From my understanding a little bit of moisture and it comes right of without any damage or taking any of the print paper with it.

Framing Tape • Archival Tape • Acid Free Tape, by bruhbruh on Apr 2, 2015 19:20:07 GMT 1, Japanese hinging (kind of like a wheat paste) for sure... don't use a non reversible tape and ruin the print... From my understanding a little bit of moisture and it comes right of without any damage or taking any of the print paper with it. And that's only if you need to float it...

Framing Tape • Archival Tape • Acid Free Tape, by avec art on Apr 2, 2015 20:55:34 GMT 1, The other day I float mounted this Heavy Weaponary postcard from the Bristol museum. I used acid free gummed conservation tape from lion to float it. So made small rolls and wetted them with a moist brush and placed them into position onto the acid free backing and lowered the postcard (using a template for accuracy) onto them. Tbh I don't think you could remove this tape without some damage to back of the postcard due to the postcards glossy nature. But hey it's only a postcard and to be enjoyed.
It's deep box framed (using spacers) and finished off at the back with french tape, but I also gave the frame a small glass window for viewing the monkey queen stamp on the back of the postcard.
