Hi Sue -- are there certain canvases that have less memory and
consequently have less rolling over time?
Thanks, Channing

Hi Tom and Michael,
It is not uncommon for linenbacked posters of any size to do a bit
of rippling, especially out at the edges. It will sometimes reduce as
the poster "grows" into it's new environment. A linenbacked poster,
and even a non linenbacked poster, rarely lays flat when you put it on
a table. That waviness will not magically disappear when you frame it.
It is part of the paper and/or fabric. Remember, these posters are
linenbacked with water and glue and that combination with fabric
causes a bit of "quilting" as I call it. It is just the nature of the
beast and will be different with pretty much every poster. If you have
your framer put in some additional pieces of foamcore strips along the
back edge of the frame and staple it in tightly, that rippling at the
edge will diminish a bit. In actually it is really just pushing the
"waviness" to other parts of the poster that are less noticeable. When
you have a matted piece, the bevel of the mat becomes a focus point
and if the poster isn't laying flat right behind the bevel it is more
noticeable. The larger the poster is the more noticeable "waviness"
is. So, don't fret. This exact situation is why so many people
drymount posters to get them as flat as possible. Since we don't do
that with collectables, we have to deal with paper's little
idiosynchrocies. However, this situation is also one of the reasons I
always say "an experienced linenbacker" is the most important person
to your poster's longevity.

I have a 45" x 59" subway poster from "You Only Live Twice" that I
bought linenbacked. It is buckling around the edges with a mat. It
was professionally framed. I have no other choice but to live with
it.
