Something I recently learned: the matting has to be 3 inches for it to be considered archival. 8ve been obsessed with watching these kind of videos lately ❤❤❤❤

This is all very familiar as my Dad did his own black and white processing and later had his own color lab prior to doing digital when it came about. He framed his own work.

Just came across your video as I am making mountain ash wood frames for some prints. Best video I have seen on matting and framing.

@RaymondParkerPhoto 3 года назад

The story on those frames is this: I came upon a source for first growth Douglas fir that had, for 80 years, formed the giant beams in a paper mill in a remote town on the north coast of British Columbia. The mill went bust and everything was sold off. A guy barged a few tons of the beams down the coast, to Victoria, BC. I had him rip some into manageable pieces (around 2" x 6") and then, with the help of a friend who owns a woodworking shop, we milled everything into the profile you see in the video. I still have about 800 linear feet. The end grain is incredibly tight and beautiful. To find that today is very rare -- it's all been logged. Ash would make very nice frames, I'm sure.

@hilinebuildersinc.5753 7 лет назад

Thank You very much for posting this. I wanted to ask, is the 2 ply blank for base mount the same as what I might use foam backer board for?

@RaymondParkerPhoto 7 лет назад

Glad to help. Yes, you could omit the 2-ply mat and just use foamcore in its place (make sure it's acid free). However, I prefer the added protection provided by the hinged 100% rag enclosure. As you see in the video, I use the foamcore as the backing in the aluminum frame. The homemade wooden frame uses an insert over plasticore.

@RodrigoCacho 7 лет назад

This has to be the best framing video on RU-vid , thank you! I've got a question, I just framed a massive 66 inch long print and this is what the framing guys used: MDF as a backing board MDF covered in cloth for the window Doble sided tape to attach the photograph to the window Sealed the frame with water activated paper. What would've been the correct way to do it ? Thank you again.

@RaymondParkerPhoto 7 лет назад

Hi Rodrigo. MDF would be the last thing I'd want near important artworks. It will offgas urea-formaldehyde. Not good. Honestly never heard of MDF as mat. Again, not something I'd use in conservation framing. Larger images can be difficult to keep flat. In that case, there is an argument for dry mounting ... but conservation-grade materials should always be used if archival permanence is the intention. Unless there is a "sacrificial" border, double-sided tape isn't the way to go. The hinging method illustrated in my video is the accepted "reversible" method of attachment.

@PHONYJOSEPH 4 года назад

Great video! Thank you for this informative walkthrough. Question: what type of ink do you recommend for an edition stamp? I recently got this stuff called Ranger Archival but it is visible on the image side of the print! I'm printing optical enlargements on Fuji Crystal Archive Type-C and Kodak Endura. Thanks for any help :)

@RaymondParkerPhoto 4 года назад

Thanks for the question, Joseph. I'm using something called StāzOn, by Tsukinoko. It seems fine. I don't have any bleed through issues with the papers I use: 100% rag papers with average thickness of 310 g/m₂. I also leave a genrerous border around the image so front and "en verso" additions -- signature, stamp and embossing -- don't impinge on the photo area.

@PHONYJOSEPH 4 года назад

@@RaymondParkerPhoto thanks for letting me know. I'll give it a try. Both those Fuji and Kodak RA-4 papers are about 250gsm, so hopefully they'll be heavy enough for that stamp ink. I'll let you know how it goes 😊

@GerardoM_com 6 лет назад

Thank you for a very informative video! I'm hoping you could please help with a couple of questions. I'm mounting a 55"x36" print and was going to use 3" archival mounting corners. Are the mounting corners sufficient to hold the print in place to the back board or should I add T-hinges like in your video, if so how many? Also, is there a type of embosser that is preferable for prints and where do you recommend getting one from? Thanks!

@RaymondParkerPhoto 6 лет назад

Hi, Gerardo. I wouldn't use corners; that wouldn't likely stabilize such a large print. Dry-mounting would likely be advisable at that size. Otherwise, I'd like to see a very generous overlap of the mat on the print ... and make sure the environment where the print is hung is pretty stable in terms of temperature/humidity. You'd want at least half-a-dozen hinges, I'd think. I can't speak to your question about embossing. My only experience is with plaque mounting, which I farm out to shops with that equipment -- for my posters, for instance. shop.raymondparkerphoto.com/collections/posters

@robosborne5489 2 года назад

To prevent the print from shifting when they lift the window mat.

@tomasnovotny4108 2 года назад

Is the t-hinge strong enough to keep such a large print flat? Im asking because Im searching way to keep my darkroom fibre-based prints matted and framed and keep flat at the same time.

@RaymondParkerPhoto 2 года назад

The answer to that question depends on print size and print margin (which I like to keep generous). I've been using this method since the 80s when I printed on Ilford Galerie fibre-based paper. In fact, I still have the booklet produced by Ilford illustrating the method. See here: raymondparkerphoto.com/printing-matting-and-framing-photographic-prints-to-archival-standards/

Thank you! The support is very much appreciated. That this remains one of my top performing videos, 7 years later, says something about its value, I guess. At any rate, it's satisfying that I can pass on knowledge that is much older than this video 😀
