TOPIC: Framing |
| Questions |
. And Answers |
| Q: Can I frame the collage? |
A: Yes, you can. |
| Q: How would I frame the collage? |
A: We recommend not placing glass directly on the print. Eventually the photo will stick to the glass, especially with any kind of humidity. Do not place the collage in or near direct sunlight. Instead, have the frame shop make a matboard with a 13x19 cutout. The frame size will then be about 16x20. Place the glass over the mat so it never touches the collage. |
