hang up prints without foam or frame.

[TordFuglstad]

So I'm in need of a solution to hang up big-ass prints without the use of frame or foam core.
I will use foam core later on, so this is just a temporary solution. Please help me out! :thumbup:
Double sided tape will ruin the images so that is a no go.

My exact thought, but wont it leave oily stains on the image as well?

What type of paper are the prints on? Are they chromogenic prints, inkjet prints, or off-set press prints?

<br><br>Ordered from the biggest photo-print store here in Norway, so probably some real professional stuff.

On the rear side of the image, yes ... if there will be any on the front depends on the paper used I suppose

If you don't mind little holes in your wall, push pins, but not pushing it through the print itself, just into the wall and kind of hold the print up with the edges of the pins.. if that makes sense.

Here's a rough sketch

Translation?: I have no idea what kind of paper or what kind of print I am paying for.

Some 'real professional stuff' is more absorbant, and more durable, than some other kinds of 'real professional stuff'.

You could go to the hardware store and get some 1x2" strips to mount to your wall. Then take some small screw hooks and mount them into the 1x2" strip. From the hooks you can hang some binder clips to temporarily hang your prints. if you want some extra safety for your prints you can get some adhesive backed felt for the insides of the binder clips, but I've never had one scratch a print if you're careful.

The back of it said kodak endura, and it's glossy. some of them are matte though.

Thumb tacks around the border. That is what I do.

Although for big posters that I don't care about so much, I put tacks in the borders. But you can go either way of edge supports or 'in paper' tacking for photos.
