Digital BW, The Print

I've never had a buckle, Austin. Humidity must play a part in this
process.  A lot of galleries won't accept dry mounting any more. Of
course I'm not in that class of photographers that care about this, as I
don't expect to see any of my work in a top gallery in my lifetime.

I've seen a lot of exhibits where the photograph or watercolor is simply
mounted in giant clear triangles at the corner, and the print is all
buckled, and looks terrible. But that's the way the galleries wanted
photos and art prints to be mounted.  

 I've seen a LOT of dry mounted photos start to get large air pockets in
them, so I wouldn't consider dry mounting that permanent either.
