Digital BW, The Print

In the old days prints were left out to dry after washing.  They really
needed to be flattened and secured to mounting board.  Do we really need
to do that to archival inkjet papers?  I have been successful with just
archival linen tape to attach the print to the board and then covering
it with archival matt board using the tape to create a hinge between the
board and the matt.  After framing using a stiff archival backboard when
needed, the print is hanging downward but also gets pressure all around
from the matt and the glass.  It can expand and contract as needed.  And
you can easily do the whole thing over again if something did go wrong.


Thanks
