Paul, could you please explain how you dry mount your prints and what equipment you use? I'm doing work for a small museum and am trying to sort out this.

Thanks,

Ted Shaw

  Do you print on matte or glossy paper? I use mostly matte paper in 
  part to avoid this problem. When I tape hang them behind an overmat 
  they may not be totally flat, but the matte finish hides the problem. 
  With glossy papers I dry mount them like I always did with silver 
  prints.
