<p>Hi </p>
<p>Here's what's achievable if you apply yourself. Patience is essential especially in early days as a few bad cuts are inevitable. The badge is inset two mats deep to take it away from the glass.</p>

<p>Hi</p>
<p>I'm assuming by mat you mean a "mount" as we say in the UK. I bought a Logan cutter and do my own. Takes some practice but you have total flexibility and control over what you do.....and the important part is you don't have to part company with your valuable pictures/autographs.</p>

<p>Hello,</p>
<p>With the proper scan res, exposure, corrections, control over the output and correct paper finish choice you should be able to produce a printed copy virtually indistinguishable behind glass.</p>

<p>Hi</p>
<p>I read your concerns about fading with interest as I have the same fears. I have a very rare autograph that was personally signed for me in my name and its irreplaceable. I have the provenance for it as the signing was filmed for me as a personal gift from the director. I have the film which makes the provenance very good so its 100% guaranteed genuine.

<p>Hi</p>
<p>I read your concerns about fading with interest as I have the same fears. I have a very rare autograph that was personally signed for me in my name and its irreplaceable. I have the provenance for it as the signing was filmed for me as a personal gift from the director. I have the film which makes the provenance very good so its 100% guaranteed genuine. The film of the signing was emailed to me in MP4 format and a week later the autograph dropped through the letterbox. I am currently in the process of framing it but am very concerned about fading issues. I did initially consider and cost out a mid sized frame with 92% or 99% museum glass...the grand total was about £250 with shipping, as I couldn't find a local stockist. Then I read that even museum glass will only slow down the fading process and not halt it completely. I tried what's been suggested on here. I've scanned the autograph at 300dpi and deepened the ink slightly so it still looks like ball point/biro ink. I've held it behind the glass and it looks pretty good.....you could say that it's not correct but if it's for your own collection and display and you have the original tucked away safe, then I'd say that this is an acceptable solution. And also the same size frame was £25 from a local photographic shop. The upside of this despite the massive cost saving is the ability to replace this over and over should it ever fade. Personally I would never buy a facsimile autograph but this is slightly different as I have the original. Hope this helps. </p>

I herd polyester top loaders will work best to stop it from fading ,but its expensive as hell, so depending on your collection if its fading because of a chemical reaction markers red and blue don't have it high does but still could fade and for other objects, depending on what they are just make sure the humidity is right and the glass will help but stores use that when there is high volume of light hitting pictures all day. So it will work I don't know if it will stop your fading but buy nice ass markers pay 25 bucks for one if it ensures the integrity of your piece.

<p>Put it in the basement with a good dehumidifier and make sure they are at least 2 feet off the floor. Also, be sure no water pipes are directly overhead. They will be fine.</p>

<p>Next, buy Collectibles Insurance just in case the worst happens.</p>
