DO I HANG IT?
Of course I do. But how could I hang it? In fact, there are various ways to hang a fine art print, always using acid-free passe-partout and double-sided adhesives. These are just a few tips to make the most of my trees on a wall
simple white frame
The simplest solution, suitable for sizes 45×60 and 60×80 cm. I imagine it thin and in opaque white painted-wood to allow freedom for the tree. White because it is pure light, one of the points of my project. Opaque because it is more natural. The hanger is hidden behind the frame and therefore not visible. It stands out well on gray or colored walls. Some clients have opted for the black/grey solution to detach it from a white background. Glass, if provided, is better anti-reflective.
frame with passe-partout
An elegant solution, suitable for sizes 45×60 and 60×80 cm. For the 97,5 x 130 cm format I recommend first sticking the print on a 5 cm Forex panel, spreading it perfectly by means of a calender. It is an extra step but for those who will then have to put it in the frame it will be much easier. In any case, I imagine it thin, in matt gray painted wood, with acid-free white passe-partout for fine art prints. I think it would be optimal with a gray near the darkest part of the print, but then it depends on the tastes … The hanger is hidden behind the frame and therefore not visible. It stands out well on any type of wall. Glass, if provided, is better anti-reflective.
on Leger/Foam panel
A simple solution, suitable for all my formats, for those who do not like frames or glass. The print is first glued with acid-free double-sided adhesives onto a 2 CM Leger/Foam panel and then stretched by means of a calender. Next, the backing is edged white and trimmed for optimum appearance. A central hole is drilled behind the panel into which a small metal cylinder is inserted to support the nail. In the 97,5 x 130 CM format there are two holes on the sides. It stands out well on gray or colored walls. As the name implies it is an extremely lightweight panel.
on DBond aluminium panel
An elegant and refined solution, suitable for all my formats, for those who do not like frames or glass. The print is first glued with acid-free double-sided adhesive on a 3 mm non-deformable aluminium D-Bond support and then stretched by means of a calender. Behind the panel a 2 CM metal spacer is applied centrally, invisible from the front which creates a beautiful “floating” effect on the wall. It is fixed with one or two L-shaped anchors attached to the spacer. It is a fairly heavy panel, to be well protected when moving
