RE: Advice

There are archival "triangles" available in clear plastic that make the job
real easy... The thing to remember is to have something small wrapped in
part of an old clean tee shirt to place on top of the print to hold it down
after you position it with the matte over it so when you remove the top
matte to put on the corners it doesn't move. (wow read that sentence 3 times
w/o breathing)..
It should be something with some mass but no edges (soft or flat is good).

this is just me, but i'd avoid dry mounting
altogether. as a display device i just don't think its
very effective. if you're having the images framed you
can get whats called a floating mount on the matte
board. this means there will be no window matte, just
one sheet that the image is hinged to in the back. its
used often for drawings, prints and other types of
artwork on paper... most any framer should be able to
do it. you can do it yourself but it can be
tricky...hope this helps.
