[artshow_photo] Re: Basic Question Of "To Dry Mount Or Not"

 

Ok, I am still confused after the help I've gotten so far... :)

Has anyone used Bay Photo mounting services? I am looking at the 2mm Styrene whose description reads:

"Prints are mounted on white or black 2mm Styrene using pressure sensitive materials. Styrene is a super smooth plastic mounting substrate that resists warping, making it an excellent choice for adding durability to prints of all sizes."

Is this even dry mounting or am I way off base to begin with?

I thought I was hinge mounting, but now I read about t-mounting and I am suddenly unsure of everything. What I do is put two (three for larger pieces) strips of acid free tape half on the back of the print and half on the mat. What I am doing and what is the definition of the other forms of tape mounting.

> * Is it common to dry mount prints at 8x12 and larger?
> * Does this affect their value (assuming they have any value down the road)?
> * Does this affect their archival qualities?
> * At what point do you stop matting these pieces and sell them print/board only?
> * Do customers seem to care one way or another?
