Digital BW, The Print

I've noticed the hinge outline popping up too lately with the Lineco 
gummed archival hinging tape. I don't think it has so much to do with 
the hinging method used (well...unless you were using a really thin 
tissue), but more to do with the really powerful spring clips that come 
with the Nielsen frames I buy. They put a lot of pressure on the 
mat/photo/glass sandwich. Maybe I just need to be buying frames with a 
deeper channel--or switch to wood, which is more of a pain IMO?
