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

Carl,

I have to tell you that I also use linen tape to mount my prints when I run
out of corners. I do use the large corners at a minimum. So many ways to do
things and I guess that is what it is all about. One needs to experiement
and find what works for them. No one way is the only or correct way.

My best,

MIke
