Hi Paul....
Would you give reference, citation, whatever on the "not archival"
for dry mounting? My understanding and experience is that it's OK... not
perfect pure but with proper handling & materials not bad either. It's
also been noted that it can make a framed print MORE archival, since it's
a barrier at the back.
What did come to mind however, is that heat often changes the tone of an
iron process, so that might be what they had in mind, either or also.
