I do this regularly for my fiber based wet darkroom prints @ 180-200F for 2 minutes using a Seal press. Can I do this for pigment based inkjet prints? I would be using an Epson 3880 and baryta paper for color and B&W prints.

I have done it several times. I tend to use the RC temps.

I have dry mounted my inkjet prints using Seal Colormount tissue with no problems which is what I do with all of my silver gelatin prints. However, I have been using the large archival mounting corners from Light Impressions as an alternative for dry mounting my inkjet prints. I have yet to discover any adverse effects on pigment based prints from the heat generated by the mount press. But it does cause me to wonder about any long term effects it may have.
