RE: [Digital BW] Foam Core: The Good Stuff is Acid Free

2002-07-12 by Paul Roark

Keith,

I just use foam-core for the backing in a metal frame.  The print itself is
in a Light-Impressions hinged mount board.  Would foam core pose any
problems in this application?

Gatorboard costs about twice what I pay for local (probably not archival)
foam core.  It's just a matter of cost and convenience.

  Having had prints killed by foamcore corner mashings, I prefer
gatorboard...

  Any reason not to use it?
