Matting and Framing a Work of Art-AVI4MI Matting and Framing a Work of Art The Anatomy of a Picture Knowledge of the basics, as well as a few rules of thumb, can be very helpful when purchasing supplies to mat or frame your own work, or even when employing someone else to do it for you. With this in mind, to give you more familiarity with frames and the frame buying process, let’s look at the various components of a picture frame. Four Decisions: Frame, Mat, Mounting Board and Glass When purchasing a frame, whether on-line or in a store, you will be making four separate decisions. These are selecting the 1) actual frame, 2) the colored matting, 3) the backing material to which the artwork is attached and 4) the glass. Figure 1 shows each of these components in the order in which they are placed into a frame. Each of them have unique characteristics that are useful to understanding when buying a frame. Decision 1 - Selecting the Actual Frame The best quality frames are made of either metal or wood. Wooden frames usually have a warmer, more inviting and traditional look. This is desirable for certain pieces of artwork such as a painting, a rich color photograph or a heirloom piece. In contrast, metal frames, with their straight edges and sharp corners, tend to portray a bolder and more contemporary, even industrial look. Metal frames are commonly used for black and white photography and other modern media. The best advice is to match the frame to the type of artwork that you are presenting. If it is a piece that has a history to it, matching the frame to the time period in which it was created is a good rule of thumb. Step 2 - The Mat Boards The second, and probably most complex step in purchasing a frame, is making a decision about the matboard to use. The matboard is the colored material which is placed between the artwork and the glass. Its primary purpose is to put an air space between the glass and the artwork so that the two do not stick to each other over time. A secondary purpose of matting is to create a border between the frame and the artwork, thereby drawing the viewer’s eye inward, towards the piece. There are 3 distinct decisions to make with regards to matting. These are deciding upon a quality grade, the number of layers and which color(s) to use. Selecting the Grade -Grade refers to how well the mat materials will preserve the artwork over time. Preservation is measured by the acidity level (pH-value) in the mat. The more acidic the material the quicker the mat and the artwork will deteriorate over time. The good news is that all grades of modern matting materials are greatly less acidic than their ancestors of 20 years ago. Matting is made either with wood pulp (trees) or with cotton. Wood pulp is naturally acid rich and therefore needs to be coated or chemically treated to either remove acidity or at least slow the process down. Cotton in comparison is naturally acid free and these mats provide the very best preservation quality. Their downside, as you might have guessed, is that cotton mats are double or sometimes triple the cost of wood-pulp based mats. Let’s divide matboard into 3 different grades: Decorative (good), Select (better) and Ragmat (best). Decorative is considered a minimal level of artwork protection. It is made with wood-pulp and is coated with special chemicals to slow the damage caused by acidity. However, this mat will unlikely last over 5-7 years and does have acid in it’s materials. It is suitable for replaceable art such as photos, or art that is not required for the long-term, such as the presentation of school projects that will be replaced in the future. Select grade is a much better level of conservation matboard and it is the workhorse of the framing industry. Although it is also made from acidic wood pulp, it is chemically treated to reduce acidity when the pulp is still in liquid form. This grade of matting is suitable for a basic level of conservation framing for items such as limited editions and reprints. Although it still will have some acid in it’s core, it will last longer and often has a layer of acid free paper over it so as to give minimal protection to your work. Ragmat, is the best level of matboard from a conservation point of view. It is made from 100% cotton and therefore naturally acid-free. Cotton is a time tested material (the Egyptians used cotton) that will preserve any piece for generations to come. The drawback of cotton-based mats is that they are fairly expensive. How Many Mats? - Quantity refers to the number of mats that are layered inside of the frame. For starters, nowhere is it written that a frame must have matting. It is quite acceptable to not use any matting at all. The only consideration is that some kind of spacer will be needed so that the artwork does not touch the glass. Over time, any contact will result in the two sides sticking to on another when natural moisture and temperature changes occur. In a vast majority of framing projects, a single mat works quite well. Framers sometimes like to layer different colored mats to create a visual border. This is done by placing one mat over the other, the bottom one being slightly larger than the top one in order to create a small border. Color Options - Mats are available in numerous shades of every color in the rainbow, including gold, silver, white and black. The best color is the one that looks good to you and does not distract from the work of art itself. Afterall, that is the most important thing, the art. If you are having a hard time deciding, it may be useful to know that many professionals simply use an off-white color as a boarder. Such neutral colors will not overemphasize the matting and distract the eye from the artwork. Step 3 - Mounting Board Once you have selected the matting, the decisions become much more straightforward. Mounting board, also called foam board, is the back of the frame and it is what the artwork is supported by. Some people actually attach the artwork to the mounting board, others attach the art to the window mat and use the mounting board to support the work from behind. Sometimes cardboard is used as a mounting board, but many framers recommend against this because cardboard is very acidic and will quickly yellow the artwork. Step 4 -Glazing The last step is to choose what kind of glass, or glazing, you would like on your frame. Glazing is the cover that protects everything in a frame. As with matting, glazing is optional and certainly not required. Of course, without glazing the artwork will be readily exposed to any temperature and humidity changes, but this is more important for some pieces than others. Standard framing quality acrylic or glass which is great for the average framer. Anti-glare glazing which will reduce glare from light bulbs or natural light. Ultra violet reducing glazing which will prohibit UV rays from penetrating the glass. Now...How do I cut the mat? Start by determining the size of the mat’s window. This will be affected by how you choose to present the artwork in the window of the mat. You usually have three choices. -You could show only the image in the window of the mat. -You could show the image and some of the border area surrounding the image (assuming a blank area surrounds the image). -You could show the paper complete; ie, show the edges of the paper. If you choose to show only the image or if the image bleeds to the edges of the paper, the customary approach is to allow the edges of the mat’s window to overlap the edges of the image by ¼” on each side. Since there are two sides to each dimension (one on either side of the width and one on either side of the height) the window can be determined by subtracting a half inch from the height and width of the image. This is an example of what your math might look like when figuring out your overall size along with the size of your boarders: When you are measuring to include a blank area surrounding the image it’s a simple matter of measuring out the area of the image and its surrounding border that you wish to show in the window of the mat. If you want to show the paper complete, measure the paper and the amount of additional space surrounding the paper; ie, the distance between the edges of the paper and the edges of the mat’s window, and this will be your mat’s window size. One more consideration... The question of whether your mat should have a wider bottom border is an aesthetic one. One rule of thumb is that compositions with distinct horizon lines are enhanced by wider bottom borders while those without are better presented in mats where all four borders are the same. If you wish to have a wider bottom border, you can add it to your measurements. For example, you might have three borders of 1¾” and a bottom border of 2¾”. And Finally... What are safe places to hang or store art works? • Avoid hanging or storing anything in the basement, attic, or any other place with extremes in temperature and humidity.

  • Basics of Kraft Pulping
    Lignin Wood is composed of many chemical components, primarily extractives, carbohydrates, and lignin, which are distributed nonuniformly as the result of anatomical structure. Lignin is derived from the Latin term lignum, which means wood.1 Anselme Payen (1838) was the first to recognize the composite nature of wood and referred to a carbon- rich substance as the “encrusting material” which embedded cellulose in the wood. Schulze (1865) later defined this encrusting material as lignin. Lignin has been described as a random, three-dimensional network polymer comprised of variously linked phenylpropane units.2 Lignin is the second most abundant biological material on the planet, exceeded only by cellulose and hemicellulose, and comprises 15-25% of the dry weight of woody plants. This macromolecule plays a vital role in providing mechanical support to bind plant fibers together. Lignin also decreases the permeation of water through the cell walls of the xylem, thereby playing an intricate role in the transport of water and nutrients. Finally, lignin plays an important function in a plant’s natural defense against degradation by impeding penetration of destructive enzymes through the cell wall. Although lignin is necessary to trees, it is undesirable in most chemical papermaking fibers and is removed by pulping and bleaching processes. 1.1.1 Biosynthesis Plant lignins can be broadly divided into three classes: softwood (gymnosperm), hardwood (angiosperm) and grass or annual plant (graminaceous) lignin.3 Three different phenylpropane units, or monolignols, are responsible for lignin biosynthesis.4 Guaiacyl lignin is composed principally of coniferyl alcohol units, while guaiacyl-syringyl lignin contains monomeric units from coniferyl and sinapyl alcohol.

THE USE OF OLD CORRUGATED BOARD IN THE MANUFACTURE OF HIGH QUALITY WHITE PAPERS by Rene' H. Kapik A Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the course requirements for The Bachelor of Science Degree Western Michigan University Kalamazoo, Michigan December, 1983 ABSTRACT Clean corrugated board waste was fractionated into its softwood/ hardwood fiber components, repulped using a kraft pulping process, and bleached using a CEHD bleaching sequence in an effort to produce high brightness fiber suitable for use in medium to high quality white paper. The papers produced had almost equivalent mechanical strengths and opacity, but possessed unsatisfactory brightness and cleanliness when compared to commercially manufactured,:. bleached kraft pulps of identical softwood/hardwood contents. Based on this experimental data, the use of recycled fiber from corrugated board as a fiber substitute in the manufacture of high quality printing and writing papers is not recommended due to its inferior brightness and cleanliness.

  • VNP Guideline LCA Data for Paper and Board in the Netherlands
    VNP Guidelines - LCA data for paper and board products It is of high importance that the data which isused from generic LCA databases (e.g. ecoinvent) are recent as well as representative for the kind of material used. Paper and board are complex materials that appear in different types suitable for the various applications. This document is set-up to assist LCA experts in finding the right data belonging to the type of paper and board studied. General advices: It is not advisable to use the data from European Life Cycle Database (ELCD) as these data are incomplete and also only ‘cradle to grave’: these are aggregated data hence difficult to identify where impacts come from and thus hardly usable for comparisons or to change for specific situations. Of all other generic databases ecoinvent is the most complete and current database. Other public datasets (e.g. GaBi, Base Impacts and ProBas) are less current and less easy to interpret from a user point of view. For LCA assessments on paper and board produced in the Netherlands it is essential to replace the input of the European average enery mix with input the Dutch energy mix. (NB this is not possible with ELCD as these allow no changes at all). Packaging paper Paper for corrugated board - Papier voor golfkarton Description Corrugated board (in Dutch: golfkarton) is the most commonly used transport packaging. Corrugated board consists of one or more layers of corrugated paper, in combination with one or more layers flat paper. The corrugated paper is called fluting or medium. The flat papers are called liners.

  • General Rules for the Sandy Pines Cardboard Boat Race
    GENERAL RULES FOR THE SANDY PINES CARDBOARD BOAT RACE Build Rules The entire boat must be built out of corrugated or standard cardboard, this cardboard may be as thick or have as many layers as you want. You may not use Paper-mâché to ‘cover’ the hull although it may be used to join cardboard panels or strengthen joints The following materials are also permitted in the construction: Brown wrapping paper, Newspaper, Tissue paper, Cardboard tubes Duct tape, masking tape, gaffer tape and packing tape along with adhesives such as PVA Glue, “liquid nails” or silicone may be used to connect cardboard-to-cardboard or reinforce seams, stress points & joints. Tapes may not be used to waterproof hulls and may not be 'Wrapped' around the hull The following paint types are permitted to help water-seal the hull joints & edges: Rubber ('Caucho'), Standard interior/exterior emulsion paint, one-part polyurethane varnish, Water- based sealant Applied paint, glue & silicone must be dry for at least 24 hours prior to launching, boats that have wet paint or other materials may be disqualified Oars & Paddles must be ‘Homemade’ and are under the same build-restrictions as hulls. Although wooden broom-handles may be used for shafts or handles, the blades themselves must be made from cardboard, however edges can be taped & siliconed if required, but not 'wrapped' in tape or film. Tie- wraps may be used to join the blades to the handles & the same paint rules apply as with boat construction Decorations and props that are not part of the boat's hull or structure can be made of anything as long as they do not add to the strength, integrity or buoyancy of the boat or are going to be removed from the hull prior to entering the water.

  • Tall Oil Production and Processing
    TALL OIL PRODUCTION AND PROCESSING Tall oil is a mixture of mainly acidic compounds found, like turpentine, in pine trees and obtained as a by-product of the pulp and paper industry. It is used as a resin in many different industries, including mining, paper manufacture, paint manufacture and synthetic rubber manufacture. It is extracted at the pulp and paper mill, and undergoes the first two processing steps there. Step 1 - Extraction of tall oil soap The "black liquor" from the paper making process is concentrated and left to settle. The top layer is known as "tall oil soap", and is skimmed off. The rest is recycled for further use in paper making. Step2 - Production of crude tall oil The tall oil soap is reacted with acid to form crude tall oil. The following reaction occurs: + + R—COONa + H3O → R—COOH + H2O + Na The acids formed from this reaction, along with small quantities of other compounds of similar volatility, make up the crude tall oil. All crude tall oil produced in New Zealand is then sent to a plant in Mt. Maunganui to complete processing. Step 3 - Crude tall oil distillation The oil is distilled into five components with different boiling points: heads (which boils first), then fatty acids, distilled tall oil (a mixture of fatty and resin acids), resin acids (collectively known as rosin) and pitch (the residue). All of these can be used in various industries as is, but some of the rosin is also further processed on site. Step 4 - Production of rosin paper size "Paper size" is the substance that stops all paper from behaving like blotting paper.

Th e possibilities of utilizing waste-paper were examined in the production of MDF. Two kinds of waste-paper (cardboard waste and mixed waste-paper) in two disintegration sizes each were used. Th e composition and length of fi bres and content of the Klasson lignin were examined. Th e following properties were obtained in the boards: bending strength, internal bond, modulus of elasticity and thickness swelling. It is apparent that paper fi bres can be added to wood fi bers in the production of MDF to a maximum of 30%. KEY WORDS: cardboard waste, mixed-waste paper, MDF, disintegration size of waste paper INTRODUCTION Th e limited supply of wood from the forest has initiated research in other materials for production of wood- panel boards. Investigations of the utilization of fi brous agricultural waste material and of high-molecular polymer are well-known and partially practised in industry. Waste paper is a recycled material which is not on the whole used in the production of paper. Th e production and consumption of paper increase every year, this is why waste paper resources will also increase. Th is is the reason why waste paper can be used in other branches of industry.
