Re: [Digital BW] Re: Signing and Matting
2005-02-25 by Alan Zimmerman
Jesse, I have started printing my own fine art photos with a 7600, and have pondered mounting techniques. Which type of dry mount do you use, thermal or cold press adhesive sheets. In either case, do you use a protective spray such as Premier Art Spray before mounting, or after? Alan

I mount exactly this way. The matt window is .5 inches larger on the
top and sides of the trimmed dry-mounted print and 1.25 inches larger
on the bottom to accommodate the signature. It is worth the care
taken for precision, to me.
I just sent two sets of a collection mounted and matted this way to
France.
As far as "being out of favor", like so many things it depends on
context. Prints mounted this way are highly resistant to damage from
handling. The mount board is integral to the print, i.e., as if the
emulsion were on the mount board.
