The Professional Picture Framers Association (PPFA) has released an 8-page booklet “Comparative Standards for Matboards – a Comprehensive Guide of Classifications and Specifications.”
The PPFA Guidelines Task Force – under Chairperson Jim Miller, MCPF, GCF, with William Parker, MCPF, GCF and David Lantrip, MCPF, GCF – spearheaded this project, with input from framing suppliers, preservation and conservation experts, museum specialists and industry consultants.
This is the first in a PPFA “Comparative Standards” series, describing and categorizing materials and methods to help framing practitioners determine which selections are most appropriate for any given framing project.
The authors categorized matboards into four classes for the retail framing market: highest quality framing; most preservation framing; decorative framing; and decorative, short-term framing. The brochure also includes an extensive A to Z glossary of terminology relating to matboards.
The booklet is available from several framing suppliers and available from PPFA for $5. For more information, call 800-762-9287 or email ppfa@ppfa.com. Several suppliers should have supplies of the booklet available at WCAF, and the booklet will be available at the PPFA booth, located at the entrance to the WCAF Expo, near the Registration area. Suppliers are welcome to email PPFA for an order form.
