Re: [Digital BW] Why heavyweight paper?

2008-08-29 by handyman856

Mark -

I've been planning to offer prints on a archival foam-core backing
with mat only. When you say "not mounted" - I'm understanding you to
mean "not permanently attached to the backing" - correct?

Further - do you just store your "inventory" of prints flat, then mat
when presentation called for?
