Hi Clayton,

Sorry for the delayed response - just getting back to the list. 
Sounds like a reasonable compromise, I do it that way myself
sometimes.  I would caution that if someone is browsing matted prints
and lifts the mat expecting the print to be mounted to the backing it
may jerk the print and stress the hinge or print itself.  The problem
of the print moving during assembly can be overcome and they sell all
manner of expensive devices like shot bags and suede covered lead to
facilitate the process.  Or you could do like the first museum I work
at did and use a brick wrapped in kraft paper! I'm being sarcastic of
course, but they really did!

BTW, thanks for the great info on BO printing.  I turned a coworker on
to your site on Friday and today he came in beaming with some
beautiful BO prints from his 1280.

John
