Vintage postcard

Post by Rainbow »

I’ve been asked about framing a vintage (sepia) postcard, with a double aperture mount so that the reverse of the postcard can be scanned/printed and framed with the front. Has anyone any thoughts on how to scan/print the reverse of the card to appear aged, so that it doesn’t look out of place with the front?

A fine-art reproducer/giclee printing outlet could replicate this for you no problem. Your average desktop scan/print setup won’t get close to the quality you desire. A fine art quality smooth paper can be selected to match the postcard finish. Happy to help if needed.
