Another Poster Storing/Framing Question

scurtis

Hello y'all...

My wife brought up a good point the other day... I have some of my posters professionally framed, but a lot of them are in cheaper frames from Michaels. The most common one I use is the float frame one where the poster sits between two pieces of what I am assuming is plexi.

Question I and she have, does anyone know over time if I run the risk of the poster sticking to the plexi? Or any other concerns I should be aware of?

Thanks.

Yes, it might be possible that the poster will stick to the plexi or that colours will bleed. Thus, for framing, you'll have to make sure that the poster does not touch the glass. This as it isn't actually a regular poster we're talking about, but a silkscreen print.

Well that's the shits, not sure how I would use these frames without the prints touching the glass, maybe just put shitty prints in the frames...

IF you really want to use those frames...
just have a matte cut to put between the glass/plexi & the print itself.
The main thing is the print shouldn't have direct contact with the glass!!

Thanks man, will have to do that. Or just rotate the posters out of the frames every so often
