I mount my prints in mats without any buckling at all. Perhaps you are using paper that is too light weight for size? Or...how are you mounting to mat board?

You shouldn t have any grain from Delta 100 film, nor should your prints show any. What printer are you using? The older epsons do have a dot pattern that
