    Advice re Dry Mount Sheets

    What is a good archival dry mount tissue (sheets or rolls) to use with double-weight fibre paper, 20x24? It will require 2 passes with my Seal 210 Commercial dry mount press. Thank you!!

    Oh, time and temp?

    I like Colormount or Ragmount both from Bienfang. 180 degrees for one minute will do it.

    I got mine from http://www.mmdistributors.com

    Also check out their silicon coated release board to put between the print and platen.

    You don't have a lot of options. As far as I know the only options are Seal/Bienfang or Arista (through Freestyle).

    Thanks! How long can you use one board?

    "How long can you use one board?'

    Long time, they don't seem to wear out.
