Re: framing, also: newbie

2006-03-19 by grue1970

All - thanks.  i went out to our hobby lobby and got some metal frame
sides and had them cut some UV glass and a black matt. i told them i
wanted the acid-free matt and backing. i also asked for some tape
instead of the corners per this thread. they gave me an acid-free 3M
watercolor tape.

i assembled the frame and slid in the glass. next i lined up and taped
the picture to the matt using 1 strip along only the top-edge of the
picture. 1/2 the tape on the picture, 1/2 on the back of the matt. i
pressed the tape down, drawing my gloved finger over it several times.
finally, i slid the matt/picture and the backing board into the frame
and well, is that it?

i think i might be missing something on the hinging thing? someone
mentioned t-hinge. i'm going to browse the site posted.

fyi - i use an epson R2400 printer and 13x19 premium luster or velvet
fine art paper.

-steve
