Digital BW, The Print

I've been using the 3M positionable adhesive for a while. It's available
in different widths.
 
It works just fine with the squigee that's included. I've also been
using a hardwood rolling pin I raided from my wife's kitchen. It works
great! I've not felt the need to buy the rolling machine.

questions
	
	
	List,
	In reply to my own previous post I have since learned a few
things regarding
	adhesives.. for what it's worth to others.. Sorry if the topic
strays from
	core issues in Digital Printing, but I think the info might be
useful for
	some, especially in light of all our concerns regarding archival
	qualities...
	Through various Google searches on the topic of adhesives and
archival
	issues I came upon the following as posted on the University of
Chicago
	website:
	
	http://www.lib.uchicago.edu/e/phd/materials.html
	
	Dissertation Office | University Requirements for the Ph.D.
Dissertation:
	Materials
	
	IV.2.3.2. Adhesive mounting
	
	There are only two acceptable adhesives:
	
	*    3M Double-Sided Tape #415. This material is sold in
1/4"-wide rolls.
	Two vertical strips of double-sided tape should be applied to
the two
	longest edges of the photograph. The tape is available from the
mail-order
	companies above. 
	*    3M Positionable Mounting Adhesive #568. This material is
sold in rolls
	and must be cut to the size of the illustration. The photograph
or
	illustration can be positioned until pressure is applied. The
adhesive is
	available from the conservation supply company Light Impressions
or other 3M
	distributors.
	
	IV.2.3.3. Materials and methods that are NOT acceptable:
	
	*    Glue or Glue Stick
	*    Rubber cement 
	*    Spray Adhesives
	*    Tape other than 3M No. 415
	*    Dry Mount Presses
	*    Pressure sensitive tissue except that discussed above.
	
	Finding this led me to learn more about the 3M Positionable
Mounting
	Adhesive #568. It appears to be a nice solution for my need to
adhere a
	piezo print to a substrate.

	My question to anyone with possible experience with this
material is
	regarding the need for the proprietary rolling machine that is
sold for
	quite a bit of money - $450. Would a heat press (which I own)
used without
	heat apply appropriate pressure to make a permanent bond with
this material?
	
	Thanks again,
	Jamie Gannon
	______________________________________________
	My previous post follows:
	
	What dry mounting sheets are being used?
	
	Is this method cool with the diehard archivists out there?
	I'd like to try the dry mounting method. Is it definitely the
adhesive
	method of choice? - compared to any of the spray mount methods.
	
	Is there a spray that might be acceptable as a non yellowing,
acid free
	solution? 
	
	Other adhesive materials in use?
	
	Any thoughts on this from traditional printmakers and collage
artists would
	be of interest.
	
	I currently am participating in a print exchange of 25 prints
with
	traditional printmakers - as I currently have no access to
intaglio or litho
	presses I am going forward with piezo. I do feel a bit like a
cheater
	although I know I shouldn't. I won't make a big deal out of the
process when
	I submit the image. One of the dilemmas is the print size. 17 x
14 inches.
	Too large for my 1160. So I would like to make a smaller image
and mount it
	to a 17 x 14 sheet of nice printmaking paper. I tested the
pressing of a
	debossed area (7 x 9 )on a slightly dampened sheet with an
edge-angled piece
	of matboard which adds an intaglio like quality to the overall
sheet. My
	piezo will mount inside the debossed area. I may be asking for
trouble from
	traditionalists... 
	Oh well. So, I'm hoping the image quality makes up for it...
	
	Thanks in advance.
