DON'TS

 

For print lovers:

• Don't touch the surface of a print.
• Don't hold a print so tightly that creases result.
• Don't hold a print where a strong breeze can strike it. Creases may result.

 

For framers and matters:

• Don't touch the surface of a print.
• Don't cut off any margins of the print.
• Don't make any pencil marks either on the margins or on the back of the print, nor on the inside cover of the mat; they are likely to smutch the print.
• Don't glue the print on a mount.
• Don't glue tissue paper or cellophane to the print - use hinges to mount the print and attach the cellophane to the mount.
• Don't allow more margin at the sides of a picture than at the top and don't place the picture in the exact center of a frame. Allow more margin at the bottom.
• Don't roll prints.

 

To the shipper:

• Don't touch the surface of prints.
• Don't trim down the packing boards to the same size as the mats.
• Don't include thumb tacks with a package of prints.
• Don't handle mats with soiled hands.
• Don't pack crinkled cardboard against prints.

 

To the exhibitor:

• Don't touch face of prints.
• Don't allow visitors to exhibitions to touch the face of prints.
• Don't punch holes in the mats for hanging. Use clips.
• Don't hang prints where a chance breeze can flutter them.
