Digital BW, The Print

Mike,

I pretty much do the same with the same board. I have been using archival
Tyvek tape to tape the print to the backing board, one strip across the top.
May not be the best but the print can't move around at all. I don't title
the prints but do sign on the right.

Silver prints are dry mounted and I sign the backing board on the right.

Daniel,

I live in South Florida. I think the only place that gets as humid is
Houston, perhaps worse. I have not had any problems at ass with warping
prints. I do not apply the corners as to squeeze the print too tightly. I
set the two bottom corners, ensure that the print is pushed down into them
and then add the top two corners leaving a bitt of "slack" if you will for
the print to move.

Always a perfect mount, and the best part....the print is fully and easily
removeable.

Mike

Carl,

I have to tell you that I also use linen tape to mount my prints when I run
out of corners. I do use the large corners at a minimum. So many ways to do
things and I guess that is what it is all about. One needs to experiement
and find what works for them. No one way is the only or correct way.

My best,

MIke
