Rising Museum Boards are 100% cotton fibre boards and are synonymous with quality archival framing. They have become the cotton board of choice by many museums, galleries and framers worldwide.
These boards have the cleanest bevels once cut, with little to no feathering or blade drag; their level surface also has a very slight vellum finish, so it will complement the artwork being matted and framed.
Rising has also been used since the 1970s by fine artists for various purposes due to its rigidity and dimensional stability. Andy Warhol used Rising for many editions of his silkscreen prints, and it is also popular as a substrate for coloured or watercolour pencil. This is when its slightly textured surface comes in handy. It could also be used for letterpress, engraving, embossing and foil stamping.
Rising Museum Boards have a Neutral pH and are acid-free, lignin-free, and chlorine-free. They are buffered with calcium carbonate.
