A bit OT. Mounting Prints - effect of heat on inkjet print - any recommended books

2005-05-25 by Roy

I've looked for a yahoo group that's about mounting inkjet prints but there 
is none :-)

I've got a few questions which might start and end with "are there any 
recommended books on this subject ?"

My concerns are the effect of heat on inkjet prints doing regular dry 
mounting.  Also the cost of a heat press is pretty high, so is there an 
alternative to a commercial heat press other than a hand iron (my mom used 
to have a trouser presser that seems like it might do the job). What are 
good "non dry mount" (wet ?) alternatives with glues and the like. I have 
questions on techniques of cutting matte boards, technical and aesthetic. 
I've seen some verbal descriptions on the web but haven't found any good 
illustrations.

are there any recommended books on this subject? (I've got 2 in my shopping 
cart on Amazon as I write this and am waiting to add and or click :-)


Thanks Much


Peace

Roy
