I am wondering how you all finish off your framed prints. When I use a wooden frame with a wire hanger, it is usually the foamcore backing or a black backing that might be sold with the frame that is visible on the backside. Very professional framing uses a sheet of craft paper which is glued to the back to keep out dust, and this gives a nice finished look to the frame. Do most of you do that, or do you just leave the foam core or black backing as it is?
I have also considered using thicker Neilsen frames since they are easier to put together, but the back of a Neilsen frame has always looked pretty tacky to me. I print fine art ink jet prints and want them to show as professionally in the framing as possible.
And, oh, I would like to add a label with the image name and mine to the back, maybe even a certificate of authenticity. I am doing my first show in September and want to get this all as "right" as I can going out the gate, so all thoughts are very much appreciated!
