I buyed from Tasmania some newly made prints of Frank Hurleys photographs taken during Shackleton's antarctic expedition. One is a real photograph the rest are printed digitally (Endurance on Kodak's Endura!) as the printer no longer makes them otherwise.
I think I have some Seal's ColorMount tissue lying somewhere. Has anyone dry-mounted digitally-made prints? What would you recommend?
I have dry mounted digital prints from my Epson 2400 with no problems, using Seal Buffermount (?) and my press at its usual 200 degree setting. But I can't vouch for a print made from any other printer. If possible, you should experiment with a print from the same printer that you are willing to lose before attempting to mount one of the good ones.
That was comforting information. Fortunately the prints have extra wide margins to experiment with.
(Off the thread: Royal geographic Society seems to have same Hurley pictures in its collections and claims to have their copyright: don't even sell copies to private persons. Curious.)
From what I've read about it, dry mounting ink jet prints significantly reduces their life span. I've read that the heat from dry mounting will cause the ink to fade a lot faster than it normally would.
