Digital BW, The Print

Paul, I watched Geo DeWolfe mat a print for me about the same size 
and what he did is about the sane except he mounted it on the same 
mat board as the mat and then put the foam core behind that. So you 
have Mat, Print, Mat Board and then foam core. I don't see any signs 
of it being loose. Don't know if this helps.
