Re: [Digital BW] Mounting Prints

2010-01-17 by Tom

I did read some of the earlier threads, but after I posted my question so I'm a little red-faced.

I have a 24 x 24 digital print.  It is framed now and is not fully mounted - but hung from the top of the backing board, but it has serious waves/wrinkles that seem to be increasing over time.  It really needs to be flat.  The National Gallery hasn't asked for any of my prints yet so I think it doesn't have to last 100 years.  I would like for it to last for maybe 20 without being affected by the mounting materials; longer would be nice, but I'm not obsessive about it.
