Digital BW, The Print

I mount my prints in mats without any buckling at all.  

Perhaps you are using paper that is too light weight for size?  Or...how are you mounting to mat board?

I have matted many Piezo prints without a problem or buckle...perhaps it is your inkset... (wink).  

Personally, I would not use either EAM or EWC for fine art prints that I would sell....and I certainly would not call them archival prints...but I have my reasons for this...primarily the acid content of the papers.

  Hello:

  i really like Epson's 2 papers, Archival Matte and Epson's Watercolor with 
  Piezo/Gen mix(I'm using Paul's formula in which the yellow position gets 
  mixed w/ ltMag and ltCyan-thank's Paul).

  Here is my question:

  Are these papers really long-lasting, as far as avoiding a shift of the paper 
  towards yellow over time(1-2yrs)? Also, now that people have had some time 
  with the prints under window light tests, how do the paper bases look?  Is 
  anyone finding any strange reactions with the Piezo inks and either of these 
  papers over time?  

  Also, some papers buckle a bit in the middle under a mat, even at relatively 
  small sizes and I'm curious if people are seeing the problem after an 
  extended period or if anyone has heat mounted Piezo or MIS work, please give 
  some comments.

  Thanks,

  Andy Darlow
