How do i hold print in place?, by rockhopper on Jan 9, 2007 23:12:46 GMT 1, Hi I have had a custom frame made for a print i have. The frame goes together like this, GLASS MOUNT PRINT HARDBOARD
My question is how do i position and hold the print in place so it doesn't slip behind the mount and how do i keep things square? Also should the print be mounted direct to the hardboard, or should it be on another sheet of card? Where would i use acid free tissue?
Many Thanks

As long as the mount and the backboard are acid free, then tissue paper isn't needed, tissue paper people are talking about is for STORAGE into sleeves.
And use archival tape (so it doesn't go all gluely and crappy with age like cellotape) in as small quantities as possible to either attach print to backboard (if float mounting) or print to mount if mounting within the erm......mount.
And there were already a bajillion threads about framing, we really could have done without another one. But then me being a mug had to go and comment on it. Ho hum.

How do i hold print in place?, by CR on Feb 13, 2007 14:13:57 GMT 1, Ok, So I have bought some PH7 neutral conservation tape to hang my print to the mount.
my question is once its attached can it be removed later - it seems pretty sticky stuff (more so than masking tape)

How do i hold print in place?, by absyrd on Feb 13, 2007 15:53:31 GMT 1, Proper archival tapes should not leave a residue or peel layers of the paper under proper conditions. Are you sure it feels that "sticky"? It is supposed to hold stuff together, but it shouldn't feel like the adhesive material is super-thick.
I have a Currier & Ives print from decades ago that I just peeled tape off of... not a mark.
