Having had prints killed by foamcore corner mashings, I prefer gatorboard... Any reason not to use it? Keith [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Keith, I just use foam-core for the backing in a metal frame. The print itself is in a Light-Impressions hinged mount board. Would foam core pose any problems in this application? Gatorboard costs about twice what I pay for local (probably not archival) foam core. It's just a matter of cost and convenience. Paul http://www.PaulRoark.com

Keith, What do you mean knocked down...did they fall from the wall and damage the corners or ends...requiring a new smaller version to cut off the damage? By the way...there is a new form of ATG (pressure sensitive double sided sticky mounting) tape now that is acid free and repositionable too. Pretty neat stuff...(little more expensive) Just curious, Steadman

Non-archival foam core MAY give off formaldehyde and other volatile
vapors..

Exactly....
One of my erstwhile colleague students bumped into one with a shoulder
and another student moved one of the accordion sections of the display
wall shaking my adjoining section enough to knock a second print to the
floor..
These were 24" x 36" prints on foamcore, Traditional Silver prints made
on Luminos Silver Tone Paper. As a student they had cost me an arm and a
leg to make and now they had to be speedily recropped.. Aggghh..
Besides which, making good 24" x 36" prints from 35mm negs in a
University enlarger was no walk in the park either.. ;-)

WHEE! Gotta try some!
I was never perfect when I centered my images and hated putting any
marks on the foamcore/gatorbaord service to guide placement..

Keith... I feel your pain (even if old) and 24x36 from a 35mm..neg...anyone done the math on that size of enlargment (?) (xtimes?) I think the new repositionable tape could be a solution for mere mortals (those without vacuum presses for "hot pressed" mounted) to mount larger prints on boards...and if you get it a little wrong...just pick it up and try again. Good luck, Steadman

Hello Vinny, I don't have the catalog with me now. Will look for it and post the info in a day. Keep an eye on this thread subject. Also...you may be able to find this stuff in a large art supply store that caters to professional graphic designers. My source is a wholesale distributor who carries dozens of types of tapes useful for photo and framing industry. Steadman
