Dry mounting RA-4 prints

[Tom Kershaw]

Does anyone here have experience of dry mounting RA-4 prints? I'm looking at up to 16x16 / 16x20 print sizes.

Thanks,

Tom

I have mounted prints up to 20x24, but not recently.

Basically though, I followed the procedures for dry mounting any RC based B&W paper.

We use Drytak colour mount and archival mount .
temp should be around 180-200 between two archival boards that have been steamed out.
You should have no problem whatsoever.

Do not use any styreene, plexi or sintra with hot mounting, It will not work.

I prefer rag board over foam board as the Orange Peel effect is not there with rag.

Ron and Bob, very helpful, thank you.

Bob,

Is the rag board the same material as used for mounting black & white fibre base prints?
