It’s so beautiful in person!

So incredible

Got my no more noir today. Beautiful print but whoever decided to put two sided tape between the taped down print and the other piece of cardboard made a huge mistake. Damn near impossible to remove without damaging the print.

Oof. Yikes.

Not directly on the print, which was bagged. But the bagged print was taped to a sheet of cardboard with blue tape around the border, great, and the second cardboard was taped to the first on the outside. Perfect. After removing the outer tape I couldn’t figure why I couldn’t separate the two pieces of cardboard. Two spots of strong sticky double sided tape were between the plastic and top cardboard, while the plastic was taped to the bottom cardboard. Very difficult to remove because the print was lifting and wanting to bend where the two spots were. Didn’t serve any purpose either.

I received my No More Noir today and was extremely confused by this. Such a strange and risky way to pack it. Were the foam tape adhesive on just one side it'd be fine, but it really doesn't need to be there whatsoever. Careful ya'll or you'll dent yer print!

Mine was tricky getting out as well. I posted something on FB about it being really difficult to open without bending the print. Mountains of tape!

I could be wrong, but my interpretation of the foam pieces was to create some separation between the print and the top piece of cardboard to preserve the integrity of the sculpted embossment. If I recall correctly, on mine, only one side of the tape was stuck (to the piece of cardboard). The other side wasn't stuck to the bag. It just separated the top piece of cardboard from the print. Like I said, I could be completely off base about the intent, but that was my first impression when I saw it.
