Print Restoration

As with any work on paper, prints are subject to typical age damage caused by the acidic nature of the paper.   This includes browning/yellowing of the paper (acid burn), brown spotting (foxing), and mat lines (mat burn).   If the pH of the paper is not neutralized, these unsightly issues will worsen and the paper will become brittle.

Other damage we commonly see on prints is mold/mildew growth, tears and paper loss, rippling/curling, creasing, abrasions, liquid staining and insect damage.   Acidic mats, acidic backings and tape are also detrimental to a print.
