So it a full surface adhesive to the back of the print.. Typically one lets the adhesive film or spray run beyond the print a bit so would end up being visible ..No biggy usually as it's covered typically with a mat.. So your going to have to cheat the film inside the print right? That's a PIA but do-able.. typically you do this on a larger piece of foam core and retrim afterwards to make sure you centered & square..  Hinge tape gets you away from this but in this case you'd want a mat to help hold back print curl over time..

Jimbo,

I use the Seal mounting tissue that extends beyond the edges of the print and tack it from the print side with a tacking iron applied through a sheet of (Seal) release paper.  I then trim about a mm into the print using a Rolatrim cutter. Cutting it square is no problem, using the guide on the Rolatrim. You're right though, it's a bit tricky getting it centered and square on the board; I use T-squares and faint marks to that end.  And that 1-mm loss from the edges of the print is typically less than what one loses with an overmat.

Thanks for those thoughts,
Harry
