Hi Roy.
Look at 3M Scotch Positionable Mounting Adhesive. It is considered
"Photo safe" and can be hand done(no press needed).
You simply apply it, peel the backing sheet, position the print and
burnish. It seems to work nicely where suspension mounting isn't
effective for whatever reason.

Regards.

I;ve found that the positionable adhesive will release in places over time giving a billowy effect to the print. I much prefer dry mounting and haven't seen any deleterious effects yet. Of course, I don't know what Wilhelm age testing would show for drymounted inkjets.
