Paper corners

[ernesto18]

I am looking for paper corners to mount photographs. Not the pre-gummed variety, but the ones made with archival paper, that can be held in place with archival tape. I used to be able to get them here in England, but now the only variety available are the plastic ones, which are much more fiddly to work with.
Anyone know any providers, England or US (or anywhere else!)?
Many thanks

I believe that Light Impressions carries both preformed gumless corners, and also tape that can be folded to make corners. Try http://www.lightimpressionsdirect.com

Light Impressions have only the plastic variety now, but they do have one that you fold yourself. I agree about the pre-made corners, they really are a pain to work with.

Many thanks to all that replied. It looks as if the paper ones are no longer made, and we have to put up with the inconvenience of the plastic ones (even the ones that you fold yourself are not as easy to use as the paper ones).

Some printers who use an overmat have a lot of mat board left over from cutting the rectanglar image hole. A couple I know cut thin strips, fold and use these as corner holders. They can be held in place with archival tape hinged behind the folded over part. It looks a lot more professional than a strip of tape.
