  • Simple Non-Adhesive Methods for Conservation Mounting of Photographs by Jennifer Mcglinchey
    Tech Notes, Fall 2010 Simple Non-Adhesive Methods for Conservation Mounting of Photographs By Jennifer McGlinchey Non-adhesive methods for mounting photographs and works on paper are often preferred because common adhesives (i.e. pressure sensitive tape, rubber cement, spray mount, glues and many other types, even when they are labeled “archival”) can cause damage. Over time, these adhesives can seep into the prints, discolor, and release acids that will stain, fade and damage a photograph. Even worse, most pressure sensitive adhesives will fail as the adhesive ages, and are not easily (or ever) removed from prints without causing damage. Even wheat starch paste and other water-based adhesives can cause distortion or damage to sensitive photographs. T he methods outlined in this article do require adhesives, but the adhesive never comes into contact with the artwork. Many of these methods support the corners or edges of the print with archival paper or inert plastic, so only the constructed supports require adhesives to secure them beneath a window mat. Below are a few examples of some of the many techniques that can be used for mounting photographs in a window mat for exhibition or storage. Window mats made from archival mat board (4-ply or thicker) are useful for storage and exhibition because they keep the photograph from coming into direct contact with glazing or other materials. Considerations for mounting photographs Evaluate each photograph and employ mounting methods that will provide adequate support for the size and weight of the print. T he methods outlined in this article can be used for many types of photographs, but may not be adequate for large format prints (larger than 20x24 inches), light-weight prints (such as unmounted albumen prints), prints that are damaged, torn, or mounted.

  • A Field Guide Eco-Friendly, Efficient and Effective Print
    A Field Guide Eco-Friendly, Efficient and Effective Print fourth edition Responsible Paper Sourcing By Design Responsible sourcing is a critical component of any comprehensive sustainability initiative. The purpose of this guide is to offer information in support of sustainable design and print for promotion, packaging and environmental graphics. For consideration is not just the material but also how it is made and what happens when it reaches the end of its useful life. Performance. Aesthetics. Economics. Environment. You don’t have to compromise with eco-friendly design. This guide gives marketing, design and sourcing professionals the opportunity to think differently about their choices. The message is four-fold: it must satisfy its purpose, be cost-effective, be environmentally sustainable and be effective in a visually meaningful way. IN THIS FIELD GUIDE If something is going to be printed, Paper it should be extraordinary, enduring Production and sustainable. Inks Printing Finishing Packaging Waste How to Say It Health & Wellbeing Opportunities Business Case Materiality Introduction | 2 Paper The manufacture of paper requires the use of natural resources. How much and how efficiently those resources are used depend quite a bit on the processes manufacturers use in resource acquisition and production. By obtaining tree fiber from sustainable sources, by using water judiciously and responsibly and by making renewable energy choices, manufacturers and their suppliers can drastically reduce the size of their environmental footprint. Over the last several decades, foresters, environmentalists and paper manufacturers have made great strides to reduce the impact from manufacturing paper and protecting forestland and wildlife habitat, managing natural resources for sustainability, and maintaining air and water quality.

    PAPER MAKING how do make your own paper Tutorial by Ângela Barbour visual artist, biochemistry, PhD in Arts and Fabricademy Instructor in Ellora Ateliê , Fabricademy Node in São Paulo Brazil FABRICADEMY MAKING YOUR OWN PAPER Why and How ? WHY TO MAKE YOUR OWN PAPER ➤ Because we can avoid using tons of trees all over the world. ➤ Because we can use, almost, all kind of discarded material and transform it in beautiful papers. ➤ discarded plants from the agro industry. ➤ discarded materials from the fashion industry ➤ cigarettes butts ➤ Recycling the paper already used. ➤ Because Handmade Paper offers an incredible field of creative possibilities since the simple sheet of paper , or paper clothes until strong and big constructions as sculpture , furniture and part of House’s construction. PAPER MAKING HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN PAPER HISTORY _ PAPYRUS ➤ The paper’s precursor was the papyrus that was prepared and used in Ancient Egypt for about 3200 BC. ➤ Made from the medulla of the Cyperus Papyrus plant. ➤ Results in a thick paper used both to write and draw. ➤ As it was very difficult to produce, after using the Egyptian used to paint with white ink to reuse it, this process was called Palimpsesto and was the first recycled process of the world. PAPYRUS MAKING PROCESS ➤ Make with the stem of the papyrus plant. ➤ Peal off the outer rind of the stem. ➤ Use the sticky fibrous inner pith or medulla cutting in strips in the longitudinal direction. ➤ wash them in a bath of cold water to remove the excess of inner liquid. ➤ arrange the slices in a strong base, side by side, overlapping a little one over the other.

The novelty of yarn production from cotton/paper mulberry fiber blends was reported. The objective of this research was to prepare the paper mulberry fibers and study the possibility of production of yarns from cotton/paper mulberry fibers. For preparation of paper mulberry fibers, the inner bark was first immersed in water for 24 h. Then, the fibers were treated with sodium hydroxide at concentration of 5–10% (w/v) for 1–3 h. After that, the bleaching process was conducted with hydrogen peroxide at concentration of 5–25% (v/v) for different temperature and time. Finally, the fibers were washed with 10% (v/v) of nonionic surfactant at temperature ∘ of 90 C for 30 minute to remove the residual gum from the fibers.

WASHINGTON GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE 1926 T329 RESEARCH ON THE PRODUCTION OF CURRENCY PAPER IN THE BUREAU OF STANDARDS EXPERI- MENTAL PAPER MILL By Merle B. Shaw and George W. Bicking ABSTRACT The annual replacement of worn-out paper currency in the United States has become of such magnitude as to cause concern regarding the cost of redemption and the limited issue possible with the present printing facilities, which were becoming overtaxed. Increased rapidity of circulation and rougher trade usage are doubtless chiefly responsible for the decreased life of the paper money, but these conditions are unlikely to change in the future. An investi- gation was, therefore, made to determine the durability factors of paper suit- able for currency use, with a view to increasing the wearing qualities and thereby prolonging the life of the paper money. The experimental tests were made on a semicommercial scale under practical mill conditions. The paper-making fiber was obtained from new linen and cotton rags. Various proportions of these materials were employed, but the best results were obtained with a mixture of 75 per cent linen and 25 per cent cotton.

  • An Industry Analysis with Special Reference to Indian Paper Industry
    International Journal of Business Management & Research (IJBMR) ISSN 2249-6920 Vol. 2 Issue 4 Dec2012 67-84 © TJPRC Pvt. Ltd., AN INDUSTRY ANALYSIS WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO INDIAN PAPER INDUSTRY A.LAKSHMANA RAO Asst. Professor, University of Petroleum & Energy Studies, Dehradun, India. ABSTRACT Paper Industry is one of the ancient industries in India. The present study made a thorough research on the growth and progress of Indian paper industry and revealed some of the interesting facts about the Indian Paper Industry. The study initially starts with the scenario of Indian Paper Industry in pre-liberalization period and then proceeds towards its state in post-liberalization period. The paper has bifurcated into various segments in connection with Indian Paper Industry. The research revealed the reasons for slow growth rate, challenges and problems faced by Indian Paper Industry. Finally, the paper sums up with prospects and a brief SWOT analysis on Indian Paper Industry. KEYWORDS : Growth, Pre and Post-Liberalization Period, Challenges, Problems, SWOT and Prospects INTRODUCTION The word paper is derived from the “Latin” word “Papyrus” and from French “Papier”, Paper is basically composed of vegetable fibers mattered together to form into sheets. “Payprus” is a kind of grass material. Papyrus is an aquatic plant which grew in abundance in the delta of the Nile in Egypt. In an understandable language it means a sheet formed by the composition of vegetable, mineral, animal or synthetic fibers or mixtures with or without the addition of other substances into liquid vapour, or gas so that the fibers are intermeshed together. Paper consumption is used as basic measure of civilization.
