Digital BW, The Print

Hi again Roy.

Sorry for the delay.(Weekend interfered:)).

I have used the positionable adhesive occasionally but it has always
involved framed prints with matts under glass. I haven't seen failures
as yet but don't have years of experience with it. I do know it must
be burnished down well as it's whole purpose is to be moveable until
perfectly placed.

Suspension mounting is where one puts archival linen tapes on the top
edge of a print on the rear with an inch or so sticking out (goo up)
and then tapes the tape itself to the print backing. Some call it 'T'
mounting. The print hangs from the tapes and that is all that holds
it. A matt covers the visible tape.

Hope this helps.
Regards.

Duane
