Benjamin,
Quite the opposite in my experience! I am surprised to hear you are having
ripples in larger prints which, from your comments I assume that you do not
dry mounting the larger ones. Therefore I assume that you are having ripples
in T-hinged mounts. Is that so? I would suggest that prints that are larger
than 12x16 be hinge mounted as a cure for the problem that you so describe.
Could it be that you (or someone) is corner mounting them or making 2 hinges
on the top? Larger prints need to be able to enlarge and shrink with
temperature changes...far more of a concern than smaller prints. I would
suggest that you make a hefty hinge in the center of the top of the print. I
personally make a hinge that is about 1/4 to 1/3 the top dimension and place
it in the center. Then I make a large, wide T across the top of that piece
to secure the hinge to either the backing mat board or the back of the top
of the front mat. The T-mount should only be done on the top of the print. I
have never had ripples in prints matted in this manner. I pressure mount all
prints 12x16 and smaller and hinge mount all prints that are larger. I sell
a lot of large prints, framed and unframed and have never had a complaint
(sold well over 1000 prints last year). For pressure mounting I use 3M
Positional Mounting Adhesive 568. I do it for all smaller prints (images
12x16, 11x14, 8x10). It is easy once you get the hang of it. I do it all
myself and save a ton. Oh, my paper is Epson Professional Paper Premium
Luster or Enhanced Matt and I print on an Epson 7800. I got this procedural
suggestion from this very same forum 3 years ago. I am sure that there are a
lot of other opinions out there, but this is mine.
Best of luck,
Jim Irwin
