Architectural blueprint drawing

[JonathanB]

Good morning everyone -

I have been asked to quote for framing an architectural blueprint drawing. The work is printed in the usual blue ink on very thin architectural drawing paper. I'm not concerned about the mechanics of framing the piece, but in the back of my mind I seem to remember that drawings of this type aren't light fast and are likely to discolour. Anybody have any experience of framing this type of thing?

Many thanks
Jonathan

I’ve framed a few and have read about plenty more.

They are very ephemeral and the best idea us to get it printed on and with something much better.

Nobody ever went for that with us, mostly due to size/cost, so next best idea was conservation glass and hang in a hallway or somewhere that gets little or no natural light - and not many went for that either!
