Print Held in Position Behind Mount, by psycho666 on Oct 25, 2019 15:30:00 GMT 1, When framing a print that is behind a mount how should the print be held in position?
Should the acid free backing card hold it in position or should you use a small amount of acid free tape or acid free self-adhesive photo corners to hold the print to the backing card?
Many thanks.

Acid free corners or strips are great if you are happy to lose some of the print behind mount. Otherwise wheat paste hinges(easily removable), or acid free tape(not easy removable).
I wouldn't rely on the backing card holding it in position, as it will probably slip over time.

Iโm aiming hide about 3-4cm of the print (recent Banksy GDP rat print) behind the mount.
Iโll try the acid free photo corners.

Ah, that's mega thin paper, so probably best to go for the lineco strips instead. That way you can put them around the edges of the print, not just the corners.
