Before you start getting angry, call the lab. Is not uncommon to get bubble in
our line of buss. specially if the are archival mounted. The heat and and change
in temp will create this problem. They just need to be repress. Anyhow if your
prints are drymount they should store in a place is pleasant for you be around
not in attic, van, garage, basement for a long period. Yes, I know that people
use all this places for storage and they not have this problem.

Funny you should mention this Benjamin! I stored a number of my 20x30 size
prints in my garage over the winter and as I was preparing for an art Fair this
weekend I saw ripples they were not there before. Lesson learned on the garage.
I'm taking steps to correct these pieces and am TRYING to get away from framed
pieces totally but there is a market for the less expensive large prints. Are
yours just a matter of needing more pressure under the glass? I'm using
inexpensive matting board.
As for your ** #4 - this year I have a "bin" for 20x30 prints with a loose foam
core in clear bags! I was finding that customers would rather frame their own
and wanted only the prints! This is GREAT! I hate frames with a passion.

Subject: [artshow_photo] Basic Question Of "To Dry Mount Or Not"
I am a bit of a perfectionist and seeing ripples and waves in some of my larger
(12x16 print size framed to 16x20) pieces is making me upset. I am considering
having pieces professionally dry mounted. I would have them printed and mounted
at Bay Photo, one stop shop... I have no desire to attempt to dry mount on my
own at this time. This being said, I know very little about dry mounting. Here
are a few questions for the class:
* Is it common to dry mount prints at 8x12 and larger?
* Does this affect their value (assuming they have any value down the road)?
* Does this affect their archival qualities?
* At what point do you stop matting these pieces and sell them print/board only?
* Do customers seem to care one way or another?
Thanks to all!
