Yet another idea... (Mon Oct 13 11:58:51 2003 )

I used to have some of my cels framed and 
displayed, but when I noticed the lines were 
fading dispite the conservation glass, I put them 
back into binders. 

Afterward, I took my four absolute favorites to a 
conservation shop with a real photo printer (uses 
something with the consistancy of wax instead of 
ink). They scanned them on a 4800 dpi scanner 
(used for museum prints of original art), then 
printed them on 10x13 sheets of duralar (think of 
a REALLY thick transparancy). They framed them 
for me in shadowbox style frames. The final 
product is damn near identical to the framed cel.

The only problem with this approach is that the 
framed prints cost about $100 a piece. Still, the 
cels themselves were each worth $500+ so I 
thought it was worth it. Then again, I spent $250 
to get my LoN put into a sealed museum frame with 
inert gas, so I might go a little overboard with 
preservation. ;P
