Poster touching glass..., by benjamayn on Dec 5, 2018 20:04:02 GMT 1, Hi.
I use mats/passepartouts almost every time I need my art framed, so it doesn't touch the glass. But when it comes to posters, I don't mind them touching the glass. I like poster to be 100% flat (and not mounted to foamboard etc.) and due to size, they will be huge with mats around a standard size poster.
If the poster is not placed in direct sunlight, away from radiator/heating and in room temperature, my theory is that it won't get damaged - but maybe i'm wrong?
I know this probably will upset some you, but I need to know, if anyone had problems doing this? Is it a total no go?

This prevents slight changes in humidity/temp that can form condensate from reacting and destroying the artwork. Doesn't matter if its not in sunlight or kept in a temperature control storage. just my opinion. If you like the ironed flat look and don't expect the poster to last 10 years then enjoy it on the wall while you can.
