Several days ago I asked about opinions on dry mounting gum
prints. In my post I mentioned that Keith Taylor dry mounts for dimensional
stability during processing. Keith sent me a follow up reply privately and
approved of me passing his message on to the list. Also just an FYI Bienfang
purchased Seal so the product that used to be called Seal Fusion 4000 is now
sold as Bienfang Fusion 4000.
Hi
Don,
I have to reply off-list as
I don't subscribe to the list, but I do watch the current archive.
You're right, I do mount the
paper using Bienfang's Fusion 4000.
However, the temps are still
quite high. Around 180-190 degrees F to stick it on and higher, 210 degrees, to
remove it. I have never noticed any degradation either immediately or over time
with the prints. The Fusion 4000 is great and easy to work with, but not always
easy to obtain. I buy mine from University Products (www.universityproducts.com).
I hope this helps.
Best wishes,
Keith.
