Is the low-temp Seal tissue archival?  At what temperature is the press set
at for this tissue (how low is low)? My local framer charges a fortune for
archival (vs ordinary) tissue.

Steve: I haven't followed all the messages in this thread, but: Dry mounting
involves using a hot press (Seal) and mounting tissue.  It is customarily
done by mounting the print on museum board.  I have no idea what would
happen if a waxed print was dry mounted, but I imagine it would not come to
a good end.  Nor do I know what would happen if a print was dry-mounted onto
foam board, though I suspect it wouldn't work.  I dry-mount inkjet prints
onto museum board (100% cotton rag like Westminster, or Alpha Art Care, or
Exeter too).  This is done with low-temp Seal tissue and layers of museum
board over the print.  After it comes out of the press, you must flex the
board to see that the tissue has correctly bound the print.
