Mylar sleeve / acid free backing

[massimo]

so i think to keep posters in a good condition it is the better way but i would like to display some of them on the wall and some in a art photo book ....maybe i can do it by myself
how do you say that transparent sleeve? how can i found it on ebay or in shop like massimo asked before?


do you think also that posters dispalied can be protected from the light? should i put it not in front of the light???

The general question is that is always better not display the poster over the sun light. To display it you have to use mylar sleeve that protect from thr humidity and light but you have also to buy the backing in acid free material.

Frank - to answer your question and putting posters on the wall if thats what you wanted to know, its always best to avoid direct sunlight - wherevere possible. Regardless, if there is natural light going onto the print you will ALWAYS get some fading. So the less the better.

Some framers will tell you about anti UV glass and non glare glass and all that, however my framer recently showed me some studies on the subject which all concluded that the difference and the protection offered is pathetic. The cost of the special glass is often 6 times more, and they will fade still anyway. So his advice was to enjoy the art and try and keep out of direct sunlight where possible, the alternative being keeping them in a completely dark box, and you have to ask yourself whats the point in having them.

Hello,

the sleeves are PVC, the size is ca. 85 x 60 cm. The shipping cost to Italy are 12 EUR

THE SLEEVES ARE IN PVC SO IF YOU PUT THE POSTERS IN A MYLAR SLEEVE AND THEN INSIDE THE BOOK YOU POSTED ...I THINK IT CAN BE PERFECT

WILL YOU BUY IT?

[massimo]

can be a solution but I have to find the sleeves that fit the portfolio!
