Do you need UV protection?

No, you read it right. My stupid mistake, I believe everything my framer tells me. Thanks for actually researching it, like I should have done before plastering it all over the internet.CrustaR wrote:Oh, I see...I didn't realize your original comment was a joke.

You can request the performance data report to see actual test results. Here's an example for a window film product.

if the print is worth over $500 today, and you expect it to go higher, I would consider it. If it were my favorite print I'd consider. otherwise a waste of money, especially prints on white paper.
I find that inks don't really fade, most people are using archival inks these days. Where you'll experience fading is on colored paper. Aaron Horkeys early prints all show this. My converge 04, hurricane relief and OTA all showed evidence of the paper fading, and these were prints that were hung away from windows, some i've had always hung in a hallway, no windows facing it, paper still faded.
regardless when the paper fades, it fades evenly. You cannot tell the difference unless you remove the print from the frame and look at the perimeter 1/8-1/4" that is covered by matt or frame rabbet. I have been planning on reframing my converge 04 and I will still likely not pay for museum glass, as I grow old and decay, so will it, it will out last me assuming I don't throw it in the trash one day or have my house burn down.

I don't think the UV you need to worry about is the sun. I believe it is supposed to protect art from your interior lights. Pretty sure glass/plexi manufacturers assume you will put stuff up as far away from the sun as possible.
We'll kill the fatted calf tonight, so stick around

i guess it doesn't matter if you plan on never selling the print, white paper will end up yellowing as well. i was going to make another thread and i probably will (with pictures) but one of my white frames has fading outside of the glass whereas the inside of the glass the frame's lip is real white. museum glass maybe expensive but plexi really isn't too badBlakeAronson wrote:if the print is worth over $500 today, and you expect it to go higher, I would consider it.

Are you talking about Museum Glass, the glass with the anti-reflective and UV filtering coatings? If so, it offers 99% UV filtering. It's damned difficult to get much better than that.CrustaR wrote:This is the first I have ever heard of that...Do you have any info that backs up that claim?suchanoo wrote:Museum grade UV isn't quite as effective at blocking UV waves as standard UV.

I think its important to always use protection no matter where you put it up.
