Re: Mounting?

2005-12-31 by Steven Karafyllakis

Hi John;

One nice thing about inkjet papers, especially the heavywight, is 
that you don't need to drymount smaller sizes. Some people hinge the 
window to the backboard, slip the print in and align it then either 
tape the corners down or use corner mounts. Another alternative is 
to tape the print directly to the window matte with low-tack acid 
free artist's tape. I prefer this as it allows some tensioning of 
the print, and ensures it will never be out of alignment. And if 
want to, you can still dry-mount most papers-but why bother?
