Storage & Protection

The Archival Cel Frame, 18 by 14 inches, shown with a cel
Display — Flagship
The Archival Cel Frame
18 × 14″ aluminum  •  one build, configured in your colors
  • Optium Museum Acrylic — 99% UV protection, anti-reflective, anti-static
  • 1/4″ acrylic spacer — holds the glazing off the mat, opening a dilution plenum in front of the cel where conventional framing has almost none
  • Artcare scavenging, front and back — the spacer leaves the whole outer mat face exposed to the cel, not just a cut bevel
  • Art-Sorb RH buffering — with a test certificate made from your own frame's material
  • Tracks room temperature — cool the room and the rate reduction reaches the cel immediately
  • Floating mount — reversible, no adhesive contact with the cel
  • Stated limits — built for A-D Level 0, tested to Level 1, and we say so

A-D Strips — 20 Pack
  • Enough to test a small collection — the same IPI strips as the full kit, in a quantity that does not ask you to commit first
  • Test before you frame — our frames are built for Level 0 emitters and tested to Level 1; this is how you find out where your cel sits
  • Includes the color reference chart
