Re: [Digital BW] Mounting Techniques(was Signing Prints)

Daniel,

I live in South Florida. I think the only place that gets as humid is
Houston, perhaps worse. I have not had any problems at ass with warping
prints. I do not apply the corners as to squeeze the print too tightly. I
set the two bottom corners, ensure that the print is pushed down into them
and then add the top two corners leaving a bitt of "slack" if you will for
the print to move.

Always a perfect mount, and the best part....the print is fully and easily
removeable.

Mike
