Thank you very much to all that sent me suggestions on how to process our collection of birds. 

We are going with the freezing method (probably), plus some additional tips that many of you so generously provided.

Joining this listserv was the best strategy ;-)

My best wishes to all,

Materials for Storage and Display covers this vast array in detail. Lectures and handouts separate materials by properties: rigid, padding, barrier and attachments. Slide shows illustrate the use of each. The course emphasizes acid-free materials and how to retrofit less appropriate materials. Materials for Storage and Display keeps current with the latest materials available for preservation. Using material testing as a decision making tool is covered. Participants receive notebooks with samples of all of the materials discussed. Logistics: Participants in Materials for Storage and Display work at their own pace through eight sections. Instructor Helen Alten is available at scheduled times during the course for email support. Students work individually and interact through forums and scheduled online chats. Materials include PowerPoint lectures, readings and lecture notes, as well as message forums, projects, quizzes, and links to relevant web sites. The course is limited to 20 participants. Materials for Storage and Display lasts four weeks. To learn more about the course, go to http://www.collectioncare.org/training/trol_classes_ms204.html If you have trouble please contact Helen Alten at [log in to unmask] The Instructor: Objects conservator Gretchen Anderson learned her craft at the American Museum of Natural History, the Smithsonian's Conservation Analytical Lab, the Canadian Conservation Institute, Getty Conservation Lab, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Minnesota Historical Society. She established the conservation department at the Science Museum of Minnesota in 1989. She is the co-author of A Holistic Approach to Museum Pest Management, a technical leaflet for the American Association for State and Local History and established a rigorous IPM program for the Science Museum. She was a key member in the planning team that designed and built a new facility for the Science Museum of Minnesota. This endeavor resulted in not only a state of the art exhibition and storage facility, but also a major publication about the experience of building a new museum and creating the correct environments: Moving the Mountain. In 2009 she accepted the position of conservator and head of the conservation section at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh. Ms. Anderson is a member of the American Institute for Conservation and the Society for the Preservation of Natural History Collections. She lectures and presents workshops on preventive conservation, IPM, cleaning in museums, and practical methods and materials for storage of collections. -- Brad Bredehoft Sales and Technology Manager Northern States Conservation Center www.collectioncare.org www.museumclasses.org ========================================================Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .

Hi All,


I am a librarian in a small Liberal Arts College and I am helping a student re-organize the collection of birds in the Biology Department.
Luckily, our specimens were prepared without the use of Arsenic, or so I was told, so no chance of poisoning. But as a consequence, most of them are contaminated with bugs. 
I would like to know if anybody can suggest an effective way of get ride of the bugs without damaging the specimens. 
Any help welcome, I have no experience on the topic.
Thanks!

Most saddle and tack "Silver"is made from Nickel Silver  (German Silver)

NICKEL SILVER

A metal alloy of usually 60% copper, 20% nickel, and 20% zinc. It is named for it's silvery appearance, but contains no elemental silver unless plated. Another common name is GERMAN SILVER

Or from Monel which is a nickel copper alloy.

MONEL

Monel is a trademark of Special Metals Corporation for a series of nickel alloys, primarily composed of nickel (65-70%) and copper (20-29%), with some iron and magnanese (5%) and other trace elements.

Subject: Re: [MUSEUM-L] Waxy green buildup?

Mary -

Most saddles and tack not only have residues from saddle soap but also oils used as leather dressings over the years. It is common to find a waxy green corrosion product where copper alloys are in contact with leathers and  skin. Organometallic corrosion results from fatty acids, primarily steraic and oleaic acid, which dissolve copper ions from leathers and skins. You also will see this on rings and jewelery that people wear, glasses too, as well as on brass tacks on old leather covered trunks.

Most of the time it comes off easily with swabs moistened with mineral spirits. But it is an inherent condition and will continue as long as the metal and leather are in contact.

A larger issue is all that gunk from the soap and dressings on the leather. Often they are a great food source for fungi (mildew and mold)- so you may see white, black, or orange blooms appear. The organic oils will eventually chemically crosslink and darken the leather, and eventually it may become very brittle.

This is where you need a knowledgeable objects conservator to examine the leather saddle to assess it's condition and make treatment recommendations.

Cheers!

intercept pouches for multi-material items? In-Reply-To: <[log in to unmask]> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary7d7bdca5dc2cc6c904e853388d Message-ID: <[log in to unmask]> --047d7bdca5dc2cc6c904e853388d Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Stephanie, Corrosion intercept uses a scavenger impregnated into the polyethylene bag matrix to absorb atmospheric pollutants. Usually it's a copper based chemical. My concern, as a conservator, for composite objects, would be maintaining the appropriate relative humidity for the organic components such as wood, leather, textile, or ivory. Also since organometallic corrosion between leather and copper alloys occurs by being in physical contact with each other, storing in corrosion intercept bags would not stop that problem. Cheers!

Stephanie,

Corrosion intercept uses a scavenger impregnated into the polyethylene bag matrix to absorb atmospheric pollutants. Usually it's a copper based chemical. My concern, as a conservator, for composite objects, would be maintaining the appropriate relative humidity for the organic components such as wood, leather, textile, or ivory. Also since organometallic corrosion between leather and copper alloys occurs by being in physical contact with each other, storing in corrosion intercept bags would not stop that problem.

Cheers!
Dave

Hello All,

 

This relates slightly to Kate McCarthy’s question about the waxy green buildup between metal and leather elements…

 

Our museum just purchased several “corrosion intercept pouches” for metal swords in our collection. Here’s a link to the pouches on University Products, if you are curious: http://www.universityproducts.com/cart.php?m=product_list&c=75

 

We accidentally ordered too many of the pouches, and so we thought we could also use them for multi-media objects, such as horse tack that includes leather elements.  Has anyone out there used these pouches on items which contain metal and leather or other non-metal materials?  If so, did the pouch adversely affect the non-metal materials at all? 

 

Advice is greatly appreciated.  Thank you!

Friends thank you thank you thank you! The mineral spirits removed the waxy build up like a charm! A note has been in our files about treatment and future maintenance. Of course all our saddles need assessment by a conservator but for now the leather is consolidated and free of green waxy corrosion!

Most saddle and tack "Silver"is made from Nickel Silver  (German Silver)

NICKEL SILVER

A metal alloy of usually 60% copper, 20% nickel, and 20% zinc. It is named for it's silvery appearance, but contains no elemental silver unless plated. Another common name is GERMAN SILVER

Or from Monel which is a nickel copper alloy.

MONEL

Monel is a trademark of Special Metals Corporation for a series of nickel alloys, primarily composed of nickel (65-70%) and copper (20-29%), with some iron and magnanese (5%) and other trace elements.

Hello Mary,
Many saddles, stirrups and other riding gear have metallic attachments that are made of nickel (dull silver color).  The major corrosion product of nickel is nickel sulphate, which can be dark to bright green.  The sulphur may come from the tanned leather itself or any cleaning/polishing materials.  Fortunately, nickel sulphate is easily removed.  What I have done for my collections in the same situation is cut a small piece of thin, bendable plastic (no sharp edges) and place it between the leather and the metal attachment, so that there is no physical/chemical contact between the metal and the leather.

Mary -

Most saddles and tack not only have residues from saddle soap but also oils used as leather dressings over the years. It is common to find a waxy green corrosion product where copper alloys are in contact with leathers and  skin. Organometallic corrosion results from fatty acids, primarily steraic and oleaic acid, which dissolve copper ions from leathers and skins. You also will see this on rings and jewelery that people wear, glasses too, as well as on brass tacks on old leather covered trunks.

Most of the time it comes off easily with swabs moistened with mineral spirits. But it is an inherent condition and will continue as long as the metal and leather are in contact.

A larger issue is all that gunk from the soap and dressings on the leather. Often they are a great food source for fungi (mildew and mold)- so you may see white, black, or orange blooms appear. The organic oils will eventually chemically crosslink and darken the leather, and eventually it may become very brittle.

This is where you need a knowledgeable objects conservator to examine the leather saddle to assess it's condition and make treatment recommendations.

Cheers!
Dave

Ok this one's for the conservators and leather goods folks on here. I work at a Western history museum and we are getting a selection of saddles ready for exhibit. However, I've noticed a nasty dark green waxy build up on one of the saddles wherever metal touches leather. This saddle may have been treated with saddle soap at some point and has almost certainly been polished with Renaissance wax at some. The leather does feel sticky to the touch. Does anybody have an idea about a) what is this green waxy build up? B) how do I get this stuff off the metal parts without damaging the leather? C) can I prevent it from coming back?

Thanks y'all!

I am working on improving our tour/fieldtrip reservation process.  Currently we use Vista to create reports and also track tours on our Outlook calendar.  It has proven to be very cumbersome and I was wondering what my colleagues are doing.  I want to shorten the time it takes to take a reservation, ensure fantastic customer service to our teachers and be able to track numbers for reports and grants.

 

I am looking forward to hearing what is and is not working well for museums…  Thanks for your help!

Hi listers. We are getting ready to buy a Brother MPC-J6710DW 11x17
printer/scanner so we can 1) scan our own oversize documents for our museum
database and 2) so we can print out 11x17 posters and labels/photos for
exhibits. We would be mounting these on foam core, so they don't need to be
heavy, but I also want a weight that's easy to work with, won't wrinkle,
gives good tonal qualities and color for photos, etc...

There don't seem to be many choices in this size and even less in physical
stores (like Staples), but wondering if any of you have experience with any
of these papers or have recommendations in general for printing your own
oversize photos and photo/text signage.

I am hoping to find a matte and a glossy photo paper, as well as a 30-32
lb. cotton ivory for straight text labels/signage (though haven't found
anything in this size that fits the bill for a 30-32 lb, let alone cotton).

--Epson Presentation Paper, Glossy, 11x17 (perhaps also too thin?)

Color printed results will vary wildly depending on the paper and paper profile. For ease in mounting images and labels on foam core, look for a heavier weight paper. I use Epson Premium Presentation Paper, Matte for printing labels and some images. The Epson papers labeled "Premium" are thicker and aren't as prone to wrinkling as the regular presentation paper when you mount them on foamcore. NOTE: I use Epson printers. About Epson Presentation (premium and non premium) papers: There are two sides of the paper. One side is slightly brighter. You want to print on the bright side of the paper, otherwise your images will not be as vibrant. One draw-back to the Epson Premium Presentation papers is that the finished printed surface is soft and easily damaged by finger prints, sneezes, fingernails, abrasions from other paper. For printed images that will not be put in display cases or frames, I apply a matte laminate overlay film to the surface. I get my laminate film from http://www.codamount.com/. The laminate film comes in big rolls, but Coda will cut them down for you. I use a jet mounter to apply the film, but for small images, you could use a plastic squeegee. I do not use glossy papers when printing images for exhibit because they glare like crazy under gallery and natural light. I have been using Epson semi matte photo paper to print some images for exhibit, however I get it in big rolls to use in our large format printer and I am not sure Epson makes it in 11x17 size. Maybe investigate some other brands that do a matte or semi-matte photo paper. The semi-matte doesn't glare as badly and the surface is less delicate than the non-photo paper. We don't laminate images printed on this paper. Depending on how you are mounting the images on foam core, you might want to check out some adhesive backed papers. I have banned spray adhesives from our exhibits department because of the risks to staff and artifacts. We use double sided adhesive film (also from http://www.codamount.com/) to apply images to foam core. Let me know if you want some more tips or trouble-shooting! We do all of our museum's label/image printing and mounting in house and have been through a lot of trial & error in regards to materials and techniques.

This is forwarded on behalf of the American Institute for Conservation. -Doug Douglas Nishimura Image Permanence Institute Rochester Institute of Technology +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The Foundation of the American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works, in collaboration with the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian, National Gallery of Art, Library of Congress, and the Smithsonian National Museum of American History, presents a Collaborative Workshop in Photograph Conservation: Platinum and Palladium Photographs Symposium, Workshops, and Tours www.conservation-us.org/platinum October 21 - 24, 2014 Washington, DC Symposium: Two-day program, October 22 and 23, Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian Distinguished subject experts will present the results of the collaborative research, focusing on the technical, chemical, and aesthetic history and practice of platinum photography. See description and preliminary schedule for more details. Symposium Registration Fee: $200 AIC members; $300 non-members; $120 students Registrations will be processed in the order they are received. To register, go to www.conservation-us.org/platinum to fill out the registration form and send it to [log in to unmask] Tours: One-day session, repeated October 21 and October 24. Tours of collections held by the National Gallery of Art, Library of Congress, and the National Museum of American History, with groups of 15 or fewer, will be conducted by leading photograph historians, conservators, and scientists. Participants will see rare examples of historic and contemporary platinum and palladium photographs. Includes box lunch and snack. Tour Registration Fee: $40 AIC members; $50 non-members Tour registrations will be accepted starting March 31 and will be processed in the order they are received. Symposium registration is required for tours. Registration forms available March 31, 2014. Workshop: One-day session, repeated October 21 and October 24, National Gallery of Art A one-day, hands-on workshop will explore the chemistry of platinum and palladium photographs and consider how variations in processing affect the appearance and permanence of the prints. The workshop will be held twice and will be led by Christopher Maines, Conservation Scientist, Scientific Research Department, NGA, and Mike Ware, Photographic Materials Chemistry Consultant to the NGA. Includes box lunch. Workshop Registration Fee: $220 AIC members; $320 non-members This workshop program is designed for practicing photograph conservators and photograph conservation students. Participants will be selected to achieve a balance of senior and emerging professionals and institutional and private practice. Experience, demonstrated need, geographic reach, and opportunity to disseminate information gained will be considered. With the exception of places for student and emerging professionals, preference will be given to AIC Professional Associate and Fellow members. Applications are due February 15, 2014, with notifications expected by March 20. Later applications will be considered, if space is available. To apply for a space in the workshop, please fill out the WORKSHOP APPLICATION FORM (found online at www.conservation-us.org/platinum), and send the form along with a copy of your resume or CV and statement of interest to [log in to unmask] Conventional wisdom regarding platinum and palladium prints held that they are charcoal in hue with a matte surface, and that they are quite stable and do not fade. In recent years, however, inconsistencies have been observed. The image hue can range from sepia to blue-black, and paper supports have sometimes been found to darken, yellow, and become brittle. In some cases actual images have faded. These issues, along with other observations of the physical attributes of platinum and palladium prints, have established a new paradigm regarding the chemical and the aesthetic characteristics and permanence of these photographs. These recent insights presented the opportunity for the National Gallery of Art to initiate a multi-year collaboration to study these materials and reassess approaches for their conservation treatment, long-term preservation, and safe display. This interdisciplinary research will culminate in a four-day program of lectures, workshops, and tours in Washington, DC, to be held in October 2014. The programs will provide an opportunity for members of the conservation, scientific, curatorial, and educational fields to glean knowledge from the NGA-led team of research collaborators. Sharing the results of the multi-year endeavor will advance the collective understanding of platinum and palladium photographs and our ability to preserve them for future generations. The speakers' breadth and depth of knowledge and their commitment to disseminating new information will provide an essential foundation for those responsible for the interpretation and preservation of some of the most rare and important photographs in the collections of museums, libraries, and archives. --- This program is supported by grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities and The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Additional funding comes from the Foundation of the American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artist Works Endowment for Professional Development, which was created by a grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and donations from members of the American Institute for Conservation and its friends. Without this support, the registration fees for the symposium and workshop would be approximately doubled.

Materials for Storage and Display covers this vast array in detail. Lectures and handouts separate materials by properties: rigid, padding, barrier and attachments. Slide shows illustrate the use of each. The course emphasizes acid-free materials and how to retrofit less appropriate materials. Materials for Storage and Display keeps current with the latest materials available for preservation. Using material testing as a decision making tool is covered. Participants receive notebooks with samples of all of the materials discussed. Logistics: Participants in Materials for Storage and Display work at their own pace through eight sections. Instructor Helen Alten is available at scheduled times during the course for email support. Students work individually and interact through forums and scheduled online chats. Materials include PowerPoint lectures, readings and lecture notes, as well as message forums, projects, quizzes, and links to relevant web sites. The course is limited to 20 participants. Materials for Storage and Display lasts four weeks. To learn more about the course, go to http://www.collectioncare.org/training/trol_classes_ms204.html If you have trouble please contact Helen Alten at [log in to unmask] The Instructor: Objects conservator Gretchen Anderson learned her craft at the American Museum of Natural History, the Smithsonian's Conservation Analytical Lab, the Canadian Conservation Institute, Getty Conservation Lab, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Minnesota Historical Society. She established the conservation department at the Science Museum of Minnesota in 1989. She is the co-author of A Holistic Approach to Museum Pest Management, a technical leaflet for the American Association for State and Local History and established a rigorous IPM program for the Science Museum. She was a key member in the planning team that designed and built a new facility for the Science Museum of Minnesota. This endeavor resulted in not only a state of the art exhibition and storage facility, but also a major publication about the experience of building a new museum and creating the correct environments: Moving the Mountain. In 2009 she accepted the position of conservator and head of the conservation section at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh. Ms. Anderson is a member of the American Institute for Conservation and the Society for the Preservation of Natural History Collections. She lectures and presents workshops on preventive conservation, IPM, cleaning in museums, and practical methods and materials for storage of collections. -- Brad Bredehoft Sales and Technology Manager Northern States Conservation Center www.collectioncare.org www.museumclasses.org ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .

Hello All, This relates slightly to Kate McCarthy's question about the waxy green buildup between metal and leather elements... Our museum just purchased several "corrosion intercept pouches" for metal swords in our collection. Here's a link to the pouches on University Products, if you are curious: http://www.universityproducts.com/cart.php?m=product_list&c=75 We accidentally ordered too many of the pouches, and so we thought we could also use them for multi-media objects, such as horse tack that includes leather elements. Has anyone out there used these pouches on items which contain metal and leather or other non-metal materials? If so, did the pouch adversely affect the non-metal materials at all? Advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

The major corrosion product of nickel is nickel sulphate, which can be dark to bright green. The sulphur may come from the tanned leather itself or any cleaning/polishing materials. Fortunately, nickel sulphate is easily removed. What I have done for my collections in the same situation is cut a small piece of thin, bendable plastic (no sharp edges) and place it between the leather and the metal attachment, so that there is no physical/chemical contact between the metal and the leather.

Mary - Most saddles and tack not only have residues from saddle soap but also oils used as leather dressings over the years. It is common to find a waxy green corrosion product where copper alloys are in contact with leathers and skin. Organometallic corrosion results from fatty acids, primarily steraic and oleaic acid, which dissolve copper ions from leathers and skins. You also will see this on rings and jewelery that people wear, glasses too, as well as on brass tacks on old leather covered trunks. Most of the time it comes off easily with swabs moistened with mineral spirits. But it is an inherent condition and will continue as long as the metal and leather are in contact. A larger issue is all that gunk from the soap and dressings on the leather. Often they are a great food source for fungi (mildew and mold)- so you may see white, black, or orange blooms appear. The organic oils will eventually chemically crosslink and darken the leather, and eventually it may become very brittle. This is where you need a knowledgeable objects conservator to examine the leather saddle to assess it's condition and make treatment recommendations. Cheers!

Stephanie, Corrosion intercept uses a scavenger impregnated into the polyethylene bag matrix to absorb atmospheric pollutants. Usually it's a copper based chemical. My concern, as a conservator, for composite objects, would be maintaining the appropriate relative humidity for the organic components such as wood, leather, textile, or ivory. Also since organometallic corrosion between leather and copper alloys occurs by being in physical contact with each other, storing in corrosion intercept bags would not stop that problem. Cheers!

We are getting ready to buy a Brother MPC-J6710DW 11x17 printer/scanner so we can 1) scan our own oversize documents for our museum database and 2) so we can print out 11x17 posters and labels/photos for exhibits. We would be mounting these on foam core, so they don't need to be heavy, but I also want a weight that's easy to work with, won't wrinkle, gives good tonal qualities and color for photos, etc... There don't seem to be many choices in this size and even less in physical stores (like Staples), but wondering if any of you have experience with any of these papers or have recommendations in general for printing your own oversize photos and photo/text signage. I am hoping to find a matte and a glossy photo paper, as well as a 30-32 lb. cotton ivory for straight text labels/signage (though haven't found anything in this size that fits the bill for a 30-32 lb, let alone cotton). --Epson Presentation Paper, Matte, 11x17 (reviews sound like too thin) --Epson Presentation Paper, Glossy, 11x17 (perhaps also too thin?) --Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper, 11x17 --Hammermill Fore MP 30PC, 24 lb.

I've already purchased the printer (Brother MFC-J6710DW) and the reviews were excellent -- with the exception of color printing, which I will not be doing a lot of. It will mostly be text and photo combos (largely older b/w images) for exhibit labels and signage. Tina, those are some great ideas to look into for mounting the paper on foamcore. I'll have to look into the double-sided adhesive film, as well as the matte laminate film to protect the surface where signage won't be in a case. I may take you up on asking tips for troubleshooting once we start doing a bunch of label printing. Thanks! But even if the color is not great, for $250 (and I got lucky, it had just gone on clearance for $175 at Staples), it's hard to complain about an 11x17 scanner and printer that works well. best, --Kathie Kathie Gow Curator, Hatfield Historical Museum http://hatfieldhistory.weebly.com Oral History Producer http://www.wordspicturesstories.com On Fri, Oct 11, 2013 at 11:05 AM, Koeppe, Tina <[log in to unmask]>wrote: > For best results, be sure to find a paper that has profiles for your > printer.

Tina, Johanna and Courtney, thanks all for your suggestions and advice. I've already purchased the printer (Brother MFC-J6710DW) and the reviews were excellent -- with the exception of color printing, which I will not be doing a lot of. It will mostly be text and photo combos (largely older b/w images) for exhibit labels and signage. Tina, those are some great ideas to look into for mounting the paper on foamcore. I'll have to look into the double-sided adhesive film, as well as the matte laminate film to protect the surface where signage won't be in a case. I may take you up on asking tips for troubleshooting once we start doing a bunch of label printing. Thanks!

But even if the color is not great, for $250 (and I got lucky, it had just gone on clearance for $175 at Staples), it's hard to complain about an 11x17 scanner and printer that works well.

best,

--Kathie

For best results, be sure to find a paper that has profiles for your printer. Color printed results will vary wildly depending on the paper and paper profile.

For ease in mounting images and labels on foam core, look for a heavier weight paper.

I use Epson Premium Presentation Paper, Matte for printing labels and some images. The Epson papers labeled "Premium" are thicker and aren't as prone to wrinkling as the regular presentation paper when you mount them on foamcore. NOTE: I use Epson printers.

About Epson Presentation (premium and non premium) papers: There are two sides of the paper. One side is slightly brighter. You want to print on the bright side of the paper, otherwise your images will not be as vibrant.

One draw-back to the Epson Premium Presentation papers is that the finished printed surface is soft and easily damaged by finger prints, sneezes, fingernails, abrasions from other paper. For printed images that will not be put in display cases or frames, I apply a matte laminate overlay film to the surface. I get my laminate film from http://www.codamount.com/. The laminate film comes in big rolls, but Coda will cut them down for you. I use a jet mounter to apply the film, but for small images, you could use a plastic squeegee.

I do not use glossy papers when printing images for exhibit because they glare like crazy under gallery and natural light.

I have been using Epson semi matte photo paper to print some images for exhibit, however I get it in big rolls to use in our large format printer and I am not sure Epson makes it in 11x17 size. Maybe investigate some other brands that do a matte or semi-matte photo paper. The semi-matte doesn't glare as badly and the surface is less delicate than the non-photo paper. We don't laminate images printed on this paper.

Depending on how you are mounting the images on foam core, you might want to check out some adhesive backed papers. I have banned spray adhesives from our exhibits department because of the risks to staff and artifacts. We use double sided adhesive film (also from http://www.codamount.com/) to apply images to foam core.

Let me know if you want some more tips or trouble-shooting! We do all of our museum's label/image printing and mounting in house and have been through a lot of trial & error in regards to materials and techniques.

Subject: 11x17 paper options for printing exhibit signs/labels

Hi listers. We are getting ready to buy a Brother MPC-J6710DW 11x17
printer/scanner so we can 1) scan our own oversize documents for our museum
database and 2) so we can print out 11x17 posters and labels/photos for
exhibits. We would be mounting these on foam core, so they don't need to be
heavy, but I also want a weight that's easy to work with, won't wrinkle,
gives good tonal qualities and color for photos, etc...

There don't seem to be many choices in this size and even less in physical
stores (like Staples), but wondering if any of you have experience with any
of these papers or have recommendations in general for printing your own
oversize photos and photo/text signage.

I am hoping to find a matte and a glossy photo paper, as well as a 30-32
lb. cotton ivory for straight text labels/signage (though haven't found
anything in this size that fits the bill for a 30-32 lb, let alone cotton).

--Epson Presentation Paper, Matte, 11x17 (reviews sound like too thin)
--Epson Presentation Paper, Glossy, 11x17 (perhaps also too thin?)
--Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper, 11x17
--Hammermill Fore MP 30PC, 24 lb.

Thanks for whatever advice you can give!

--Kathie

Hi all, 

 

Does anyone have (or can anyone point me to) a list of murder mysteries set in/around museums.

I'm thinking I saw something like this posted a couple of years ago, but apparently I didn't save it.

 

Thanks in advance,

Hi Kathie,
 

It can be tricky to print a color field accurately on solid paper without streaking. An alternative solution you might consider is to find a colored paper that works for the background of your labels and panels. I've gone to Paper Presentation which has a large online selection -- http://paperpresentation.com/. There is also Paper Papers (http://www.paper-papers.com/paper-11-x-17.html). It's definitely hard to select a color without seeing the paper in person, but it looks like they have swatch books available and may offer samples.

Hope that helps!

Johanna

Subject: 11x17 paper options for printing exhibit signs/labels

Hi listers. We are getting ready to buy a Brother MPC-J6710DW 11x17
printer/scanner so we can 1) scan our own oversize documents for our museum
database and 2) so we can print out 11x17 posters and labels/photos for
exhibits. We would be mounting these on foam core, so they don't need to be
heavy, but I also want a weight that's easy to work with, won't wrinkle,
gives good tonal qualities and color for photos, etc...

There don't seem to be many choices in this size and even less in physical
stores (like Staples), but wondering if any of you have experience with any
of these papers or have recommendations in general for printing your own
oversize photos and photo/text signage.

I am hoping to find a matte and a glossy photo paper, as well as a 30-32
lb. cotton ivory for straight text labels/signage (though haven't found
anything in this size that fits the bill for a 30-32 lb, let alone cotton).

--Epson Presentation Paper, Matte, 11x17 (reviews sound like too thin)
--Epson Presentation Paper, Glossy, 11x17 (perhaps also too thin?)
--Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper, 11x17
--Hammermill Fore MP 30PC, 24 lb.

Thanks for whatever advice you can give!

--Kathie

Conrad Dates: Nov 4 to Dec 5, 2013 Location: Online at www.museumclasses.org Description: The museum's brick exterior wall is crumbling. The powder coated metal storage shelves have active rust under the foam padding. Objects in fur storage are covered in mold. It is raining in the exhibit hall. This is the damage that occurs to museum buildings or collection when staff do not understand preservation environments. Preservation Environments is essential knowledge for any collecting institution. Everyone should understand how humidity and temperature are controlled by a building and its mechanical system. For museum staff considering a new building - and any institution planning to expand or rebuild an existing one - Preservation Environments provide important information for calculating whether the proposed improvements will actually improve the environmental control of your protective enclosure. Participants learn the advantages and disadvantages of numerous methods of temperature and humidity control. Preservation Environments does not try to turn museum professionals into engineers. Rather, it arms them with the knowledge they need to work with engineers and maintenance professionals. And helps explain why damaged occurred and how to keep it from happening again. Logistics: Participants in Preservation Environments work at their own pace through six sections and interact through online chats. Instructor Ernest Conrad is available at scheduled times for email support. Preservation Environments includes online literature, slide lectures and student-teacher/group-teacher dialog. The course is limited to 20 participants. Preservation Environments runs four weeks. To learn more about the course, go to http://www.collectioncare.org/tas/tas.html If you have trouble please contact Helen Alten at [log in to unmask] The Instructor: Ernest A. Conrad's greatest contribution to the preservation field was the development of environmental guidelines for engineers who work on museums, libraries and archives. For over 20 years, Mr. Conrad has focused on environmental issues. He is president of Conrad Engineers and Past Founder of Landmark Facilities Group, Inc., an engineering firm specializing in environmental systems for museums, libraries, archives and historic facilities. A licensed mechanical engineer in several states, Mr. Conrad holds a bachelor's degree in civil engineering and a master's in environmental engineering from Drexel University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. For more information visit his web site Landmark Facilities Group, Inc. The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc. (ASHRAE) publishes standards in the areas of HVAC and refrigeration. Mr. Conrad recently co-authored the ASHRAE Applications Handbook "Chapter 20: Museums, Libraries and Archives." For the first time, there are guidelines specific to our needs in the engineering literature. Mr. Conrad has studied environments and designed special climate control systems throughout the United States for clients as well-known as the National Gallery of Art, Library of Congress, The Frick Collection, Getty Conservation Institute, The Pierpont Morgan Library, National Trust for Historic Preservation, and National Park Service. He has a special interest in house museums and how climate affects structures and collections housed within those structures. -- Brad Bredehoft Sales and Technology Manager Northern States Conservation Center www.collectioncare.org www.museumclasses.org ========================================================Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
