Hi, I'm sort of new to the whole digital printing arena. I use to dry-mount my traditional B&W prints but I have a feeling that it would probably not work for inkjet prints. What can you recommend I use to mount cotton, matte paper (like the Epson Ultrasmoot/Scrapbook) and glossy prints (like the HP Premiup Plus)? Oh yes, and I'd like to be archival. Thanks, -Gabor

Gabor, I also used to dry mount all my silver prints, and I was never fond of the process. Conservators also don't like it because it is probably irreversible. However, it was really the only way to keep the images flat enough. One of the advantages with "carbon on cotton" digital printing is that it was not process in water, so it's not nearly as wavy. Also, with matte paper it doesn't matter if it's not totally flat. The matte finish behind glass simply does not show the slight waviness that may still be there. This allows me to just tape-hand the paper behind an over-mat. (Some use corners to hold the print with success.) I use the hinged Light Impressions Exeter Conservation Board (Gallery white). I like the archival foam board as a backing. At any rate, I like quick and easy, and this is considerably easier than dry mounting and looks just as good.

I have never dry mounted and use the photo corners. The photo corners are great for mounting prints and a lot cheaper than purchasing a dry mount setup. Good luck!

Gabor, I have dry-mounted dye and pigment inkjet prints using the same
techniques as with a silver print (layers of matt board in the press,
low-temp tissue) with no problems --that I know of. Ask me in 30 years.
However, I put mounting and framing in PITA level 8 (developing film is 10).
So now I outsource, and the very talented framer I use uses the Light
Impressions corner mounts. This seems to work OK with heavier papers, but
with lighter papers I may have her go to tape, cold mount or something to
avoid buckling. As an artistic decision I prefer dry-mounting and signing
on the matt board, but...there is only so much time and I don't really want
to have anyone else do the dry-mounting part.
Regards,
--Ken Carney
