To be honest, I don't separate the print from the back mat. However, =
all the board is acid-free stock... I don't believe in cheaping out on =
the mat board. I don't know if the mat is an issue when hung loosely =

I have had a few prints that needed to be 're-hung' because the hinge =

reflected light differently than the rest of the print. That was the =
only way to notice.

Subject: [LargeFormat] mounting prints
thanks for the advice on mounting. the method which involves hanging =
the print(thanks to the 'good doctor' brock) appeals to me the most for =
its minimalism. i believe fuji crystal archive paper is not =
temperamental, its brow doesnt crease easily, so hanging it could be the =
way forward. the matte which has been mentioned, i presume, is a porous, =
breathable lineny material which separates the back of the print from a =
firmer board?? does anyone have ideas on materials with industrial =
applications which might serve the purpose of its specifically designed =
cousin? there still being a dearth of customised materials in SA. is =
this an a accurate description of a cross-section of a sensibly framed =
picture from the aspect of the viewer:
glass; gap of air; print; thin slivers of archival tape at top of =
print; matte; board ???
make any sense?
does anyone know if my 15cm voigtlander apo lanthar has nuclear =
capabilities?
