Does anyone have any experience framing a Diasec print? I have a Diasec that I think would look great in a floating canvas frame, but I'm not sure how to attach it to the frame. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

We framed this Richter in a box frame with anti-reflective glass. The client wanted the cream background and black frame but all white would of worked nicely too.

You can also frame them with no glass in a tray frame, but the frame would be much closer and you'd have to glue a support on the back to raise it to the front.

Thanks, that looks fantastic. So basically you'd have to glue a board onto the frame, screw in the supports for the diasec?

Wow, for a second I actually thought that was a photo of my frame-up!  I framed up the same print the same way several years ago; I used a sheet of plexi for the backing board which doubles as a window.  Scroll through this old thread; it explains exactly how I put it together:

Ha- What a coincidence! Great job you did there Mister Whisper!

Nobokov- These prints already had a sub-frame attached on them so they didn't need anything additional glued onto them, but if yours doesn't, then you would have to use some kind of adhesive to attach them to a backboard really.
