Digital BW, The Print

Hans,

Seal makes a mounting tisse for color ("C"-prints) paper that 
is "low" temperature. I think it in the 150-160 F range.

That would be the way to go, probably.

There's also something called "Color Mount", now that I think about 
it.

Looks like I may have a use for my dry mount press after all. Besides 
a boat anchor! LOL!
