Re: [Digital BW] Re: Cheap and possibly reversible way of mounting 22 by 30 Arches watercolor

"footboard" is supposed to read "foamboard". That was 
a because spellcheck changed it and I did not catch it. Sorry for any
confusion.

With this method the prints are not 'framed' but they are
on a firm backing. Usually two clips at just the top to
clip  the print to the foamboard and to serve as hangers. Likely
too primitive in many cases but inexpensive.
