Digital BW, The Print

Hi BJ,

Just winging it since I don't coat my prints except for a quick spray of printguard if I am using dye based inks.  it seems to me that it shouldn't make much difference if you mount the print first. If some of the goop goes onto the mat so what since it will be covered by the overmat with the window in it. 

In fact just wondering further about it, how would (does) the coating plastic hold up to the heat of a mounting press? Maybe mounting then coating would be the prefered way to go.

  Subject: [Digital BW] Re: hot dry mounting - possible ?


  I've been dry mounting ink prints for over a year and it works very 
  well indeed. I prefer the look and stability of dry mounted 
  photographic prints, and I have seen instances where hinged prints 
  have become detached over time and droop in the mat. (I live in a 
  very dry climate.) If the prints are framed and hanging, this is a 
  real pain. 

  My current concern is whether or not I will be able to continue dry 
  mounting when I start coating prints with PolyShield. Does anyone 
  have experience in this area? My coating rods and "goop" have just 
  arrived and I plan to give coating a try over the upcoming holidays. 
  Any feedback on mounting coated prints would be much appreciated.
  BJ
