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
