I forgot to mention......Philipp is correct, indoor lighting can fade items
also. Tungsten, fluorescent, incandescent light can be a fading culprit. The
product I use actually has very high filtering agents for that type of lighting
also. When you have something framed make sure you are buying a quality product
if you are concerned. However, you don't have to get suckered into
overkill products. For instance, the UV filtered plexiglass that I use is 84% UV
filtered and even higher filtering properties for indoor light, since most of us
are hanging our item indoors. That is the combination I have found works
best for almost all lighting situations. 98% and 99% UV filtered plexiglass, to
me, is overkill, and very expensive, unless you have a particularly direct
sunlit room. 98% and 99% UV filtered plexiglass also typically has a yellow tint
to it that is transferred to the item being framed. Some people like it, though,
as an insurance factor, but again, if you put your item in direct sunlight, not
even 99% UV filtered plexiglass will protect it completely. That's the
scoop.

Subject: [MOPO] Movie Posters in UV
proctected Plexi
NOW, lets talk about this.....very interesting topic....I also feel the
same way...how can we really believe in that.....I do not let any poster have
any sun on the image of any art....so...can anyone else tell us that UV
plexiglass does protect the poster of UV light....DOES ANYONE KNOW THAT
ELECTRIC LIGHT BALLS ALSO has the same impact as UV or sun light ?????
After many year, maybe over 20 years I have never received any answer.....what
is really the impact of our framed posters in house or from the "very
sun".
Please let me know BECAUSE I am lost.....
