Re: [Digital BW] dry mounting

2002-02-21 by Paul Roark

Tom,

I dry-mounted a few Generations 3 color images on Epson Photo Quality Photo
Paper.  I would think this paper and ink combo would be more sensitive to
heat than the quad pigments on a better paper (but maybe not).  At any rate
the color pigments and paper seemed to be un-affected by the dry-mounting,
and the prints look as good as new a year later.
