Advice sought on the following matter.
Most of my carbon prints are on sized watercolor papers. However,
with these papers the relief or dimensional appearance that many
people associate with the carbon process, is either lost or
diminished when compared to the same image on fixed out photographic
papers, especially on mat surfaces. For that reason I have lately
been using fixed out photographic papers for many of my prints.
However, I am uncomfortable with the fragility of these supports,
especially single weight papers, and am considering the possibility
of dry mounting my prints on photographic papers to a 2-ply or 4-ply
mat board, or perhaps even to an art paper. I am convinced from
reading about the issue that dry mounted prints will have better long
term permanence but wonder about other archival considerations.
Thoughts on this matter would be appreciated, as would be sites on
the web that may deal with the issue.
