Hello John, >Just a tidbit: Mounting to the window mat is generally frowned upon. > Collectors/curator want to open the window to examine the full face >of the print, and let the print hang down from the backing to examine >the back of the print. 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.
