While taking breaks from working in the backyard today I was groveling around on Google looking for dry mount press options, and I found this;

DROOOOOOOOOOOL!

Has anybody seen or used a Drytac 'Hot Press'? Are they suitable for dry mounting FB B&W prints?

Dang but that looks like one slick unit...

Murray, I remember Hot Press starting as an off shoot of Lion Picture Framing a trade supplier in Birmingham UK, in the late 80's.

Excellent company and great products. Will definitely dry mount FB prints with ease but higher tech than you really need.

For the heck of it I contacted Drytac about their smallest press (the HGP260 that has a working area of 35"x47") and the price is.........only $5,499.00! Just the thing needed by those photographers with Hummers in the driveway, as opposed to the Honda civic in mine
