    Mounting



    Hi Everyone,


    I made some prints and framed them. They look great for about two months and then they started to warp. I want to mount them on mounting board that way they don't warp when I frame them. My problem is there are many types of mounting boards sold on B&H, and I also need to know what kind of equipments and material I need to fuse the photographs and the board together. I currently have 8 11 x14' prints that need to be mounted.


    I would appreciate your help, thank you!


    Nate,

    Why don't you simply put some cardboard behind the framed images to provide some stability so that they won't warp (in other words, create constant pressure that keeps the print pressed up against the glass)?

    I asked a similar question a while back. I was researching how to mount prints at home for reasonable cost. Using the way that I was familiar with from school (dry mounting with a press and dry mount tissue paper) was not an option because a decent press costs a lot. The few replies I got recommended adhesive spray or tape.
