POW prints + Deckled-Edges, by hitme on Jan 23, 2008 20:20:14 GMT 1, I'm rather new to the collecting of prints with deckled-edges, and I have a few questions that I was helping you experts here could answer.
1) How do most people frame their deckled-edge prints...floating so the edges show or matted with the edges tucked underneath? If most people are doing the latter, why does POW and other galleries even bother using paper with deckled-edges? Is it an aesthetic thing?
2) With all of the horror stories with POW and packing of these prints from the past....how does one determine whether a print is actually "damaged" or just a little curled due to the nature of these types of edges? To me it seems these edges are a little more susceptible to a look that most people would call damaged when on other prints.
Any help or comments about deckled-edges, POW's prints, and the framing preferences of others would be much appreciated. I'm hoping to gain a little more insight.

If you like deckled edges and want to show them off - float the print. If you do not want anything glued to your print(or the print glued to something) you should use a mat.
