STEP 3 : PRESENTING PRINTS / Mounting and framing
You can mount your small prints in an album , using double - sided tape , self - adhesive print corners , or cement . Make sure you buy cement designed for use with photographic prints , as some contain chemicals which erode and discolor the image on non - resin- coated prints . You should mount larger prints on to thick card or blockboard , espe- cially if you intend to hang them on display .
Rubber cement is the cheapest way of mounting larger prints because you do not require any special equipment . It gives a good finish but , unless you cover the print with glass , the corners may begin to peel after a few months in a warm room .
Dry mounting gives a more permanent , professional looking result and is quicker and not as messy as most other methods . It involves inserting a thin sheet of shellac- coated tissue between the mount and the back of the print . You place this sandwich in an electrically heated mounting press which melts the shellac , joining the two surfaces . The mounting press should be set to the recommended temperature , usually 200-210 ° F ( 93-99 ° C ) ; above this some resin - coated papers may blister . With care you can use a domestic iron to dry mount small prints up to about 6 × 4 ins .
If you are careful , mounting should not affect the original surface of your print . But you can alter the surface finish by using an embossing kit ( as shown at the bottom of the opposite page ) or a surface spray . Aero- sol surface sprays will give a semi - mat or mat finish to a glossy print . This will help to hide any surface marks or blemishes that you may have left after retouching .
Mounting equipment
Dry mounting press
Tacking iron
Steel straight edge
Set square
Sharp cutting knife
Rubber cement and spreader
Dry mounting tissue
Spray adhesive
Mounting montages
A montage is a composite image , created by mounting parts of one or more prints on to a prepared background . It is best to use dry mounting for the background prints , and adhesive to apply the smaller over- laying sections of the other prints .
Mounting adhesives are available in sprays , or cans . For dry mounting you require an electrically heated tacking iron ( to first attach the shellace tissue and position the print ) , the shellac tissue itself , and a small heated press .
To trim the print or the mount , you can use a guillotine cutter or simply a sharp cutting knife and a steel straight edge . You also need a set square , to make sure the print corners are square .
Mounting a print using rubber cement
1. Trim your print . Take care to make the edges straight and the corners at right angles . Lay the print on the mount and mark its position lightly in pencil at all four corners .
2. Spread cement over the back . of the print and the marked area on the mount using the spreader or a rule edge . The cement should be spread as thinly and evenly as possible .
3. Wait until the two surfaces are no longer wet to touch . Carefully lower one edge of the print on to the mount , aligning it with the corner pencil marks .
4. Lower the rest of the print into . contact with the mount , smooth- ing its surface to remove . bubbles . Rub away any excess adhesive with your fingers .
Dry mounting a print
1. Use a piece of shellac tissue the same size as your picture , or larger . Place it over the back of the print and attach it by touch- ing the center lightly with the hot tacking iron , making a cross .
2. Using the steel straight edge and a sharp knife trim the print and its attached tissue . Cut straight downward on to a hard surface .
3. Carefully position the print on the mount . Without moving the print , lift two opposite corners and tack the loose tissue beneath to the mount with the hot iron .
4. Slide the print and mount , face up , into the mounting press , set to the recommended temperature . Close the press and leave under pressure for about 5-10 secs .
