full frame 35mm display
I was wondering what is the most common method if displaying gallery work
for 35mm full frame prints? I have seen some mat cuts where the window is just outside the 35mm print border? is this a common way of displaying 35mm full frame prints when you're doing mats? thanks. k. |

Maybe it is time we lowered our standards in order to make a few bucks as social security goes bankrupt. Let's market some matts with pre-printed raggy edges and sprocket holes. |

Print with clean white boders. Use a masking neg carrier. Forget this crap. Don't take crap from photo instructors. Think for yourself. |

Yes: Pick up a book of photographs, open a magazine, go to a gallery, a museum and count: with black border Vs without black border. Just a thought exercise: which do you think will be the more common? Black borders were first done to be UN-common: not like the crowd. -- Nicholas O.

Actually I think Ilford invented the black border, Cibachrome prints done with a blank border means a black border rather then a white one. Some folks thought it was cool, and could be done with Negative prints, simply by putting something over the exposed print raising the easel border, and then giving it double tim exposure under the enlarger with no negative in the carrier. Burns the border in wonderful black. I always thought with the rich colour saturation of Cibachrome prints, the black border looked better, with the lower colour saturation of negative prints the white border looked better, but that's just my opinion.

Too common if you ask me. It was probably kind of innovative when the photographer who did this first presented a new style. Now, this "alternative" has been copied into a trite presentation style. I print full frame (9" X 13.5") and cut my mats so that they just barely cover the edges. It takes longer to position prints this way, but it is worth it to get the exact look I intend. Michael |

I've got a book "Miniature Photography" by Richard Simon published in 1937 in which the author explains how he prints dark borders on his prints. After making an enlargement, take a piece of card the size of the print minus the border and place it on the enlarging paper and expose the edges with a pocket flashlight or the enlarger with negative removed. Some folks thought it was cool, and could be done with Negative prints, simply by putting something over the exposed print raising the easel border, and then giving it double tim exposure under the enlarger with no negative in the carrier. Burns the border in wonderful black. It can look cool if well done, but it certainly predates Cibabchrome by many years. Peter. -- |
