framing advice please, by jonnyx on Oct 18, 2008 16:20:36 GMT 1, hi all. i realise there is a framing forum but it's a bit quiet over there - no posts in ten days!!
so i hoped before this gets shunted over there some of you guys could offer some advice. can anyone suggest any problems with using these acrylic sandwich type frames for mid-price type prints like the POW insect/ lucy/ invader/ eine/ donwood ones?
www.luminati.co.uk/products.php?p=10_3&state=Wall_mounted_Acrylic_Photo_Frames
i really like this style of frame, so i'm not worried about any aesthetic problems you may have with them, but rather i'm concerned with looking after the prints. cheers!

framing advice please, by dealersam on Oct 18, 2008 17:18:41 GMT 1, from an 'artwork touching the glass/perspex point of view i can't see how this is avoidable & keep the look. You could go for UV glass or perspex but this can be expensive. Try & do this if poss, but if not at least make sure to ask whether if using persex there are any chemicals used that will harm fragile papers.
if you are thinking longevity ask as many questions that relate. if it is a good framer they will accomodate if not f**k 'em & take your business elsewhere
sorry can't be of more help.

framing advice please, by jonnyx on Oct 19, 2008 13:35:25 GMT 1, cheers chaps.
are any chemicals used that will harm fragile papers. yeah, now that's something i was concerned about. but, The front of the print will stick to the glass after a few months that is something completely obvious that had slipped my mind entirely (will they *really* actually stick though - see my dream would be that there's some magical properties to these frames that preserves the print rather than destroying it - if we can put a man on the moon and all that!!)
hmmmm time for a rethink i guess. maybe i'll get a one for a cheap print and see how it goes.
