Digital BW, The Print

Thanks.  They quoted me around £20 (USD36) for a 12x18 ­ just for the
tissue.....  I am sick of getting ripped of here on almost everything....For
example, for the cost of one Epson cartridge (2100) here I can buy a 4oz
bottle for my CFS from MIS.

Steve: So far as anyone knows, it is archival.  The product I'm referring to
is Seal ColorMount Plus, catalog number 604.  I hadn't noticed it before,
but the particular package I pulled out says "specially formulated for RC
photo mounting".  The directions state a recommended temp range of 200F,
175F minimum.  I use around 200 according to the gauge on the press.
However, I should point out that I have a sheet of 100% rag matt board below
and above the matt/print to be dry-mounted.   This probably results in a
little lower temperature.  You let the press warm up with the rag board
sheets in it to be completely sure there is no moisture in the boards, else
problems.

I'm not sure why your framer is so wound up over archival tissue.  Seems the
last batch I bought was about $75US for 100 sheets of 11x14, or about 75c
per sheet.  The next size up is 16x20 which is about double the price.
