One easy-to-use traditional answer is "Yes Glue". A white paste, it actively pulls the art flat to the surface without a lot of rubbing and pressure (unlike rubber cement alternatives). "Yes" probably isn't "archival" (ie 100+ years without change) but that's obviously not your concern if you're willing to use Foam Core or a dry mount press (both of which are inherently non-archival no matter what the manufacturers claim). "Yes Glue" is plenty good for longterm exhibitions and display, has been used forever in museums, makes less mess than spray cements and cleans up a lot easier (water soluble). Goes on white, turns clear. --- In DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com, "namibiajohnston" <chris@...> wrote: > > I do my own framing, and printing to A3+ 13 x 19.
