float mounting??, by dmandpenfold on Jul 30, 2008 17:19:12 GMT 1, by a good framer with hinge mounts , little tabs that are of archival type quality ie dont stick to and ruin your print (rice paper are probably best due to pH neutrality and strength plus they can be removed by dampening with a little distilled water). Of course it's best to make sure the print is perfectly flat first otherwise any waves or wobbles will show as it isn't pressed flat by a mount.
