Re: hinge mounting

Hello John,

Good point.  What I'm doing now is I think the best of both worlds. 
One of my frustrations with mounting on the backing has been that if
the matt moves even slightly during framing its spacing around the
image is messed up.  Hinging to the matt solves that, and the entire
process is quicker and easier.  So I am hinging the top of the print
the matt, and the top of the matt to the top of the backing.  This
allows the matt to be lifted and the print drops down to be fully
examined.  Seems like a good compromise.


Regards,
Clayton
