Very high glossy surface on Silver Gelatin Print - how to make it?

[Keith Tapscott.]

It certainly doesn't drymount well.

Photo corners work well enough for me.
When the print is between the mount board and window overlay, it looks fine.

It's also easy to to replace the print with another one if you want a different picture.

Corners are fine for tiny prints; but if displayed, need a top mat window even smaller, to hide the edges. And yeah, you can potentially switch prints out if they're the same overall size. More an album thing, in my opinion.
I used a certain amount of RC paper for my commercial portfolios.

The rare times I want a very gloss print I use RC, I use Foma papers, works well. For the most when I want a print on the wall I want a semi matt, don't want glare. I think to get a very high gloss you need a plate. I guess if is important to a look you want you can have large steel plate chromed. Not sure what it would cost.

I use RC Fomaspeed also, they are economical option, not too expensive, and they are really good quality.
On 50x60cm size I use RC almost exclusively, because my darkroom is pretty small, and it handles easier. All my prints are just for me, as I don't do anything commercial.

Right now I'm working with some EMaks graded. It has the glossiest surface I've ever seen on a FB paper. Allegedly the gelatin was pig derived, rather than bovine. But when it's gone, it's gone. One more classic paper already discontinued.
