Direct Glass Contact with Rotating Portfolio
Posted: Sun May 07, 2017 9:20 pm
Hey guys,
I recently acquired a couple dozen prints, but I only intend to display 2 at a time in a specific area of my house, rotating them monthly.
The frames I current have are glass, and the prints (as currently set up) would be mounted in direct contact with the glaze.
All prints not being displayed would be stored flat and protected in an Itoya portfolio, away from harm.
I've been reading about humidity moisture buildup with glass, and how prints should generally not be mounted in this way. However, since each print will be only framed for 1 month at a time, and it would take about a year to go through my collection before repeating, I'm curious if you think that keeping it in glass would be okay. How long does direct contact take to cause issues with prints?
