I tried using the archival corner mounts from Light Impressions on 13x19 EAM
prints and the prints did warp under a mat and glass in a frame with changes
in humidity (at least in central NY summer conditions).  Simply taping the
print to the backing board, with two pieces of tape on the upper edge only
works much better.  The free hanging print does not tend to warp when
mounted in this manner.
