Re: Displaying & presenting work

2007-10-03 by the_des_bois

I found this mounting option to be interesting:
http://www.art-boards.com/Archival%20mounting%20panel%206.htm

The heat activated adhesive is supposed to be reversible etc.

Did not tried their product yet as I have not found a way to protect
the front of the print... 

I am also selling some prints and looked for a way to treat the prints
so they can be hanged without a frame.

I use Moab Desert protective spray but it does not act like the
varnishes used on canvas prints.

I am still looking for a varnish that will be completely matte and
will not leave streaking marks.
