RE: Dry mounting gum prints
Mark, > Glad you had no tonal inversions! I hate them-though even worse is a rectal/cranial inversion. Yes any inversion is certainly serious. I'm blessed with a healthy rectum though I know some gum printers that aren't. > Couple of serious questions... can you remove the prints from that backing board if you want? > In a word no. If I had used the Seal Fusion dry mount tissue it could possibly be removed. For the record though I'm not mounting to matt board but rather to another sheet of high quality printing paper. > Does the heat from the dry mounting press melt the gum at all? (I'm assuming it didn't) > No there is no melting of the gum image though I imagine that could be used as a creative gesture if one were so inclined. My dry mount press temperature is calibrated using Seal temperature indicator strips so it does not get too hot. But I can tell you from experience that it can get very hot. Sometimes I use it to iron my underwear in the winter! Don
