In the past I have dry-mounted my prints, sometimes with a border, sometimes trimmed flush (the print, not the board). Recently, I have taken to using linen tape hinges to mount prints, liking the flexibility of being able to easily remove them if necessary. In either case, the finished print is matted. Sometimes the mat window allows a white margin around the print, sometimes the window overlaps the edge by 1/16" all around. I am trying to settle on just one method--are there any pros or cons to any of this, any protocols, preferences among galleries, museum or collectors? (Unlikey any of them is ever going consider my work!)
