Florencia Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I want to know this because if poster boards are acid free I may use them in my projects. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Some are, most are not. If it's acid free, it should say so someplace on the labeling. If it doesn't say so, figure it's not acid free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 The posterboard you get at the $ store is probably not acidfree, paint or prime the side that'll come in contact with paint or paper. If you buy it an an art supply store, ask; the staff should know, if they want to keep their jobs. Matboard IS acidfree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KathieB Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Ummmm ... Holly, not all matboard is acid free. Again, look for it on the label or ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I did not know that, I figured since it was used to mat artwork it would be acidfree so as not to damage the goods. Thanks ever so for the heads up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
