Should A Framer Deacidify Every Piece of Paper?
Some framers discuss de acidification with every customer, along with other conservation matters, because the customer’s reason for framing a piece is not always apparent. The importance of preservation is determined by the customer who owns the piece. A reproduction print the framer may regard as temporary decorative art may have important family significance, to be handed down through generations, requiring the finest conservation techniques. An antique print that some may consider important may be considered by the customer as merely an inexpensive decorative piece to complement current decor.
