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'.
