Mounting & Framing

Framing Options

At Jamie Buzil Photography, we focus on providing you with beautiful art. We do not offer framing services and do not work with a framing company that can drop ship framed works to you. All prints are sold unframed, though a limited number of giclée prints are available with a mat and backboard. We believe in concentrating on what we do best and recommend hiring a professional framer to assist with selecting the appropriate mat and frame size, color, and variations to complement your artwork.

Framing

For clients residing in the Chicago area, we offer a selection of framed giclèe and emulsion prints, along with a limited stock of frames. For details on price, availability and production times, please reach out to us at information@jamiebuzil.com.

We do not offer framed items for shipping due to the high cost of shipping and packaging. We recommend having our prints framed by a professional framer in your area. When framing Giclèe or Emulsion prints use either a mat board or spacers to separate the art from the glass. The glass or acrylic used in your frame should never touch your print or artwork. Failure to provide space between the art and the glass will affect the integrity of the photo over time.

For the best results, we recommend consulting with a local professional framer to choose the framing method that suits your artwork and decor.

Three framing methods we suggest for you to discuss with your professional framer:

1. Mat Mounting with frame of choice

This is the best method for giclée prints. Our prints come printed with a white border, making them perfect for matting. Colored mats can add a personalized touch to your print or wall gallery. Some of our giclée prints come with mats; please check the specific print details and add a mat to your order if desired. Emulsion prints also look great with a mat but we do not sell these specific mats.

2. Float Mounting with frame of choice

This technique elevates the print to display the full image and its edges, making it ideal for emulsion lift prints with a deckle edge. Spacers are typically used around the frame edges to prevent the print from touching the glass.


3. Flat Mounting with a Mat with frame of choice

In this method, the print is elevated and surrounded by a mat larger than the paper size, allowing for full viewing of the image and its edges.

Care: How Should I Unbox and Care for My Print?

To preserve the quality and longevity of your fine art print, keep it away from direct sunlight, moisture, and extreme temperatures. Display your print in a frame with proper spacing between the art and glass. Avoid touching the surface of the print with bare hands. If you need to clean your print, use a soft, dry cloth.

For Giclee Prints,

Please handle with care. Prints are lightly coated with Hahnemühle Protective Spray which fixes the ink and prevents color fading. This coating not only helps with protection from UV rays it also increases the abrasion resistance of the paper reducing the risk of fingerprint marks and scratches. However, these prints should be handled with extreme care and not touched with your hands as natural oils will affect the prints. Gloves will be included with your shipment and should be worn when handling your print.

8”, 12” and 16” square prints will be shipped flat. 20” prints will be shipped rolled. If you are framing yourself, carefully unroll in an area that is flat and large enough for the entire print. Use the packing materials to protect the surface. Carefully place books or soft weighted objects (we use silk sand bags) around the outside, or the corners, to flatten. Depending on the humidity in your house this could take a few days. Mount when flattened. We do recommend having larger prints framed by a professional. Use only archival supplies as use of other materials will lead to yellowing and destruction of the art. Even though the prints are coated with a protective spray they are still quite fragile and need to be handled appropriately.

For Emulsion Prints,

All sizes are shipped flat. Please handle with care but no need to be as careful as with a giclèe print. The prints are mounted with linen tape to a mat board for shipping, both archival. If you wish to change the board for framing, carefully remove the print from the mat board by applying heat from a hair dryer to the tape, not to the print side. A little heat goes a long way so please be gentle. If the dryer is burning your hand, you are affecting your art. It should pull away very easily. Best to have a professional framer take care of this but if you are framing yourself and have any questions, we are available to help. Please email using the contact form with any questions.
