HI Matt, I don't quite understand why it would make any difference what type of wood the frame is made of. Who cares if it's MDF or pine or whatever else? As long as the veneer looks nice, that's really all that matters. Another thing, I can understand the need for the museum grade glass when you're displaying your work in a bright, sunny room. However, if the print is going to be hanging in a room that doesn't get any sun, why bother with the expense of museum grade glass? You may want to get something that blocks 85% of UV, rather than 99% and that would be just fine. What about acrylic print options, you know the ones that look like the print is floating on the wall. It's probably not a good option for a platinum print, but it may be great for a color inkjet print. Thoughts?
Hello, great videos - I like to watch them. regarding passepartout. what distances for the edges would you recommend? left, above, right the same distance - below more? do you have a specification or do you do it by feel?
Matt - very nice overview!
Thanks a lot!
Thanks for simplifying a confusing subject.
