[pure-silver] Mounting prints

I saw the show at the Camerawork Gallery (in Portland, OR) yesterday, of The Contact Printers Guild. (Sandy King, among others) Very nice work - Platinum/Palladium, Carbon Transfer, 'traditional'.

I noticed that at least one photog used photo corners to attach the prints to the 'back board', then used (I assume) archival linen tape to hinge the overmat to the back board (at the top). The prints were mostly 8x10 and, I assume, watercolor paper. (and thus, fairly stiff)

Is this common practice among those on the list? Do you use this method when the print is 11x14 or larger? I have always worried that the print would somehow slip out of the corner. (even with an overmat)

I don't own a dry-mount press, so I have used mostly linen tape. I kind of like the idea of a mounting method that is 'reversable'.
