. . . either because we didn't think about about it at all when we were writing the quote or we didn't think it was a big deal.
An example of the former is removing stickers from the back of prints or posters prior to mounting. A couple of large, tenacious stickers can take 20 minutes to fully remove - even with Unseal - and, if you don't, they'll emboss themselves through the surface when you vacuum mount the print. I hardly EVER think to look for stickers on the back of a print until I'm ready to mount it.
An example of the latter is attaching artist info, bios, certificates of authenticity, etc to the back. It seems like the Mylar sleeves I use to do this (instead of the ATG I used to use) are getting more elaborate and time-consuming. Ever charge someone for doing this?
I know we can't account for every minute spent framing a particular project but it would seem like we'd want to get close.
What other things do we forget to charge for?
