[LargeFormat] Mounting Large Prints

[tripspud]

Hi Don,

     Right.  If you're in the US, Seal rules the drypress.  I
just bought the Jumbo.  Don't get the bigger size.  The
Jumbo's 15 1/2 X 18 1/2 handles all.  The easy trick
for larger prints is to section mount.  The bigger presses
are for busy commercial settings.  It'll mounn any length
and double the 18 1/2 direction (excluding mount boarders).
Europe and England use some other system.

     Most find a drypress put to use to flatten prints as well.

Cheers,
