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

I have had success in dry mounting matt papers but have not tried glossy or
satin type finishes, I have been archivally mounting them to the matt board
using linen hinge tapes. But might give it a try. What mount tissues are you
using?

Thanks

Mike

Benjamin,

I've always dry mounted my prints. They just look so much better,
especially on large prints. My largest size is just over 20x30, which
requires pressing in sections, because the print is bigger than my
mounting press. I had a print or two bubble up before I got the proper
time/temp figured out, but simply returning them to the press fixes
the problem. If that happens and you don't have a mounting press, it
might be a bigger problem though.

If you want to maintain archival standards, you should use removable
mounting tissue. Seal makes a version called Archival Mount, which can
be removed when re-heated.
