RE: [Digital BW] Easy cold mounting of inkjet prints

Thanks, John. This sounds like an attractive mounting option.

I have two "conservation" questions (for starters...) that the 3m web
page didn't seem to address. I wonder if you have researched either:

1. Is there any safe way to remove the print from the mount in the
future (the 3m web page said "repositionable before permanent
mounting")?

2. How "acid free" is the material over time?

Traditional conservator's hinge mounting, of course, scores high on
these two criteria - but low on keeping prints flat.
