[QUOTE="komokwa, post: 244098, member: 301"]I started framing prints in 1990 . To cut costs I used regular mats on some of the 1st prints , but quickly changed to acid free mats ....at a higher cost , knowing that in the long run, my clients and my reputation would be adversely affected by poor quality framing. While I hate to admit it.....the acid free framed works still in my possession ....remain in excellent condition...with the mats still bright white where they were cut..and no acid leaching has occurred on any of them. Some of those early prints have increased in value several times their original cost , and the acid free mats and backings have assured that they stayed that way.[/QUOTE]
