Mounting photos for a local photography contest - How??
A local group is running a photography context and I've never gone to a one so that I would have an idea of what people do to mount the pictures for submission. I don't want to spend much more for the mount than I do for the print. ($5 or so.) What do people do these days? I haven't mounted anything in years. I used to have the hot press and adhesive tissue paper, but that's long gone. For "art" printing, is edge-bleed considered tacky and a white margin is expected? -- Al Dykes News is something someone wants to suppress, everything else is advertising. - Lord Northcliffe, publisher of the Daily Mail |

I used to have the hot press and adhesive tissue paper, but that's long gone. Is it not stipulated in the context [sic] rules? For NCPF contests the general practice is a very shoddy print-taped-to-back-of-window-mount arrangement. I usually spray-mount a print to foamcore then optionally mount the window to that. For a serious contest or exhibition I have the print mounted to board at the lab. For framing that board would be card, unframed I get foamboard. For "art" printing, is edge-bleed considered tacky and a white margin is expected? That, I would say, is entirely up to you. -- savvo orig. invib. man |
