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!

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

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

I am hoping to find a matte and a glossy photo paper, as well as a 30-32

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,
 
Chris Chandler
 
Curator of Natural History
Putnam Museum

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/ .
