Matte Paper, Mounting, Lamination, etc.

2002-10-02 by Jon Roemer

I'm wondering if anyone can point me to a resource that lists presentation
methods for matte prints made on an Epson.

I'm using a 7600 and for the time being Epson Enhanced Matte.  I'll probably
settle on a second higher end fine art paper in the future - like the Epson
Smooth Fine Art or similar.

Before I begin presenting this to clients and hitting art galleries with my
personal work, I'm wondering:

-Can all the Epson matte papers be dry mounted? laminated?  I know the Epson
does not recommend laminating the Enhance Matte.

-I assume that the Epson Enhanced Matte has optical brighteners in it (?)
but I would guess that the Smooth Fine art does not (?)   Is the Enhanced
Matte acid free?

-If you are printing large (2'x3') is dry mounting recommended?  All my
previous experience has been with dark room produced 11x14's which went into
window mattes and were not dry mounted.

Also, if anyone has a link to info. from Epson on this that would be great.
I haven't found anything on the Epson site.

Thank you,
Jon Roemer
