Adhesive or no? , by lgx on May 28, 2018 19:25:13 GMT 1, I've had a Jago print framed and I asked for it not to be 'stuck' to anything in case I want to sell on at some point. Is there a technique to this as I've noticed some light ripples. Is this due to it being rolled in a tube originally, or me not having the print stuck in someway? Cheers.

Most likely hinge mounted and if conservation materials used should be easy to undo. All float mounted prints can get wavy from humidity expansion and contraction. Usually not from from the print being rolled. Unless it was stored rolled for awhile then not properly flattened over time. Any reputable framer can help.

That sounds worse than using tape.

I took it to the framer, he's going to put a piece of glass behind it so that it's sandwiched between two pieces. your framer doesn't sound like they know what they are doing. if it is not float mounted, then there are a number of ways to secure a print without adhesive which will keep it flat. glass sounds like a terrible idea (and one i have never heard of). not only would it increase the cost and fragility of the frame (and risk damaging the print if broken).... it would double the weight. |

And risk damaging the surface of the print if it was in a humid place.

Having glazing in direct contact with artwork can cause damage especially when there are fluctuations in humidity. There always needs to be some spacing from the glass/acrylic.
