Yep, my wife used to do custom framing at a shop back in high school so I got quite a bit of firsthand experience on it

Thanks for the reminder on the dry-mounting - I actually think a few of my very first prints are done that way. My new ones are not; I had to have the framer correct the frame job on one of my Dishonored ones, and watched them remove the print. Either way it doesn't bother me; I frame them just to keep the prints protected and to display; I will never sell them so not worried about the value.

This thread reminded me... I usually replace the glassine annually for the prints that are still stored in the tubes. Should probably go change that now. :O
