Glossary Of Picture Framing Terms [4]

All

J Japanese Paper A strong, thin paper (generally made from rice starch) often used for hinging artwork to a backing or mat prior to fitting. Japanese paper is pH neutral (acid-free), and therefore will not discolor or lose its adhesion over time.
Jersey Frame A shallow shadow box frame with a gap between the glass and the backing, into which sports memorabilia such as a jersey may be placed and displayed. The jersey is pinned flat into the frame against a corresponding color backing, often accompanied by related collectors cards or photographs. The frame is then sealed and displayed, and the contents are protected from dust and damage. If proper archival-quality materials are used, this style of display will also prevent the fabric of the jersey from fading or yellowing over time. Order online: Jersey Frame
Joining The process of connecting one piece to another. In picture framing, this refers to arms of the picture frame or stretcher bar frame. Generally, a thin coat of glue is first applied to each mitered (45 degree angle) piece. The two pieces are then inserted into an underpinner machine, which fires V nails into back side of the corner piece at specified intervals.
Jpeg or jpg A digital format used for images. Jpegs are considered "lossy" file types, which means that when the image data is compressed (for easier storage and transfer), some detail may be lost. Though jpegs are perfectly acceptable for printing and can produce a quality printed image, they are not as highly recommended as TIFF files.
