Hey I have a quick question.
We're going to put a humidifier in the baby's nursery this winter as it's just too dry.
There are a few framed prints in her room (all do it yourself jobs, nothing archival). Should I worry about moisture getting trapped within the frames? If need be I can take everything out while we're using the humidifier, just don't want to risk damaging anything.
What's been your experience?
Humidifier and framed prints... What to do?

I'm in a similar boat, the gf would like a humidifier in the bedroom because it's pretty dry. I have about a half dozen archivally framed prints in the room and the are all sealed from the back. As long as I don't place the humidifier directly below a frame, should I be ok?
I'd also run a dehumidifier a few feet away from the humidifier.

that would defeat the purpose of the humidifier

buy a hygrometer to measure the relative humidity. I use one & keep the level at 40-50%. I control it with a dehumidifier as I live in swampy florida.....
