Re: Mounting?

2006-01-02 by Steven Karafyllakis

Hi Ken;

I'm not too surprised it doesn't work at that size; that leaves you 
with sending it out to a photolab for either dry-mounting or cold-
mounting. I would test a smaller finished print in your dry-mount 
press to see how it responds to the heat-if you use a low-temp RC 
tissue it should work. If it doesn't work, look for a place that 
does cold-mounting-there's an adhesive and a vacuum press involved 
(I think-does anyone else have details on this process?)and I have 
no idea what the archival proerties of the adhesive might be. 
Perhaps Greg or Tyler can give us more details on this, along with 
any other methods available?
