Framing & Bumps, by dirk on Oct 11, 2008 8:57:07 GMT 1, Got a couple of Banksys framed and got them back last week from an excellent framer in Edinburgh (had a couple of Failes done previously and they look excellent)
Both have comes back with small bumps at a couple of points between the print and the mount. You cant really see them unless the light shines against them in a certain way. Anyway, took them back and they framer said that because these are hand made prints, this can effect the flatness of the paper. They may look completely flat until you get them framed against flat mount.
He said he can 'pack' them underneath to flatten these out? Can anyone provide any advice or advise if they have had similar.
Secondly, he has advised me that he uses a bit of framers tape on the back of the prints, but the process is totally reversable? Bit nervous, once again any advice appreciated.

I believe that the tape is pretty common practice though, it keeps the print in place against the mount.
An expert may say differently though...

Packing - I would only bother if it is really noticable. Larger prints such as Applause tend to suffer from this due to the size of the print
Framers tape - I think there are different versions. Some are like masking tape, but completely acid free others are similar but only "sticky" when licked (like an envelope). There are super fancy ways of hinging prints in place without any tape, but generally most framers do use tape. As long as it is the right stuff, and I am sure it is, and the framer doesn't use absolutely masses of it I wouldn't be worried ;D
