Frame Yellow
Jan/110
How to view and manage a newspaper page so that you do not turn yellow in the sun and exposure?
During a summer festival, I bought a NY Post about John Lennon murder complete (JOHN LENNON SHOT DEAD). I want to hang up the newspaper in my living room (I know I need a thick frame to accommodate the whole issue tabloid), but I want to do it so that I can prevent yellowing as I can. The newspapers are printed on very cheap paper, and it does not take much time or direct sunlight for them to start wrinkling and yellowing. What type of glass should I use as framework?
The reason newspapers turn yellow because they are printed on paper that contains a lot of acid, which see art printed on "acid" so if you buy beautiful things of art or frame. It is a time factor you guessed it, well obtain accelerated course with sunlight. Couyld you frame it on the mat acid-free Plexiglas UV slows much more regular Glass's lighter too. Matting it also keeps the glass from touching the object you enclose a must to prevent it from sticking to it maybe after some time. If you're looking to not spend a fortune you could get a ready-made framework into a larger whole and pay for the matte boundary which would save $. What about putting it in a box without acid? or a plastic sleeve and frame a copy of the original? For value of investment $ $, which could be a consideration. Good Luck
