Digital BW, The Print

I have never dry mounted and use the photo corners.  The photo corners are great for mounting prints and a lot cheaper than purchasing a dry mount setup.  Good luck!

Gabor,

I also used to dry mount all my silver prints, and I was never fond of the
process.  Conservators also don't like it because it is probably
irreversible.  However, it was really the only way to keep the images flat
enough.

One of the advantages with "carbon on cotton" digital printing is that it
was not process in water, so it's not nearly as wavy.  Also, with matte
paper it doesn't matter if it's not totally flat.  The matte finish behind
glass simply does not show the slight waviness that may still be there.
This allows me to just tape-hand the paper behind an over-mat.  (Some use
corners to hold the print with success.)  I use the hinged Light Impressions
Exeter Conservation Board (Gallery white).  I like the archival foam board
as a backing.

At any rate, I like quick and easy, and this is considerably easier than dry
mounting and looks just as good.

Subject: [Digital BW] Mounting digital prints. What to use?

Hi,

I'm sort of new to the whole digital printing arena. I use to
dry-mount
my traditional B&W prints but I have a feeling that it would probably
not work for inkjet prints.

What can you recommend I use to mount cotton, matte paper (like the
Epson Ultrasmoot/Scrapbook) and glossy prints (like the HP Premiup
Plus)? Oh yes, and I'd like to be archival.

Thanks,

-Gabor
