[pure-silver] Re: Droopy Prints

In addition to the corners, I use these V-mount strips along the long edges
(say just about for the middle third)
See http://www.secol.co.uk/MOUNT.SHTML and go down the list to V-mount 
They are just like the corners you use but are in a strip instead of a
corner

Subject: [pure-silver] Droopy Prints

Hi all,

Here's a sitch I don't ever think I've seen mentioned in the discussions of
print display.  It has to do with matted, framed prints.

I find that after about 6-12 months, the part of the print that is visible
thru the mat window begins to droop slightly downward, in somewhat of a 
loose "U" shape.   Clearly, gravity is at work here.

I use 1-1/4" polypropylene mounting corners to hold the print in place on 
the back of the window mat.   Each print is in a Nielsen metal frame, and 
has a sheet of acid-free foamcore behind it.

Does anyone have any suggestions (short of dry mounting) about how to keep
the prints flat behind the window mats?

Thanks in advance,
Adrienne Moumin
