I had a dry mounted print framed similarly. After about 15 yrs, it
developed several slightly raised bubbles, I assume due to different
expansion/contraction rates & possibly the top layer of the mounting board
pulling away from its substrate. Hinged mount would have been better imo,
especially since there's no way to fix the permanent dry mount I had used.

Janet,
I have two dry-mounted silver fiber prints hanging in my bathroom.
Aluminum foil across the back of the mount board and wrapped around the
edge of the front mat (kept in place with tape optionally) then placed in
aluminum frames with glazing. You can sprinkle dessicant in behind the
bottom of the print if you want but I didn't do that with these.(or I guess
you could place small pack in back of frame.) You can also glue a second
seal of paper across the back of the frame if you think you need better
protection.
I have had prints in my bathroom for about 6 years now with no ill effects.

I would like to frame and hang a black-and-white print in the bathroom but
it gets pretty steamy in there. Is there a way to frame a print so that
moisture doesn't get between the glass? Thanks!
