Matting
We believe in using the highest quality acid-free archival materials. We mat most of our images with eight-ply archival museum quality acid-free mat board. The image is secured with acid-free linen tape and mounting corners. This technique allows you to easily view an artist's signature on the back of the print, or remat the image as you see fit. If you choose to remat your work or have it framed, please keep in mind the following factors:

• Because photographic prints are sensitive to acidity levels, always request a low-acid or acid-free mount and mat.
  
  
• Never use standard adhesive tape, or regular masking tape for holding your print in place. These tools are not acid-free, and will also leave residue behind. Over time, this will affect the quality of the print. Always request acid-free framing tapes.
  
  
• Ultraviolet (UV) resistant glass and Plexiglas will block out harmful light rays, and will extend the life of the piece. Plexiglas is frequently used in framing art because it is lightweight and break-resistant. If you decide to use glass, non-shatter glass will ensure that should a breakage occur, the artwork will not be damaged.
  
  
• Glass should not be pressed directly onto the image surface. This can damage the surface of photographs and lead to humidity on the surface of the artwork. Request that your print be framed with an air gap between the print surface and the glass.
