Re: [Digital BW] Suggestions for displaying matted prints

2014-02-08 by mrjimbo2

three options come to mind..  One is to use what referred to as a clip frame.. This allows a piece of glass or acrylic to be over the image to protect it and included in this assembly is a rear mount.. These ar eeasily dissambled and replacing the image with another is a no brainer..

Option two is to just rig up something on the back of your image that you can hang it from and use the new removable wall mounts  (no holes)  available at most hardware  stores and online.. 

Option three (which I do here) is to use a wall mounted rail and from that use braided wire or a hanging rod to hang from ...this way you can arrange the images and even over lap them at different heights.. I have my entire studio set up this way.. I liked it so much that it is now added to most of the house so it's really easy to make changes..

  Subject: [Digital BW] Suggestions for displaying matted prints


    
  I'm looking for ideas for how to display some matted but not framed prints.  All are 16*20", a mix of portrait and landscape.  I want the flexibility to swap in/out prints from my accumulations.

  I'm considering mounting a rail on a wall for prints sit on, but I'm looking for ideas on how to deal with the differing heights created by the portrait/landscape mix.  How can I neatly tack the top of the prints to the wall?

  Has anyone done anything clever to do something like this?

  Thanks!

  John P
