Good questions! Along those same lines, I'd be curious to hear hear if/how
people are dry-mounting their digital prints. I've got an old 20x24 Seal
dry mount press from my silver-printing days that I'm hoping will work
with the new media. My old method was to dry-mount, then cut a window mat
about 1/2" from the print border all around, with a little more space at
the bottom for a penciled signature. The glass is then kept off the print.
Any opinions on the appropriateness of that method would be appreciated!
