New inkjet print mounting technique

I have developed a really neat way to mount and display inkjet prints
and I would like to hear what you think. I print on rag fine art paper
or canvas on my Epson 4000 (17 inch) printer. I dry them in my Seal
210 press (minutes after printing) then, after trimming off the white
border, I dry-mount on acid-free black 3/16 inch foam board. At this
point I use a paint roller to apply matte Glamour II Veneer to the
print (this protects it from UV, fingers, and coffee). After drying
for a couple hours, I trim the foam board to extend about 1-1/4 inches
outside the print. Then I turn the print over and use a special tool I
made to cut a groove in the foam board all around 1 inch in from the
edge. After cutting out the corners, I fill the groove with glue from
a hot glue gun and fold up the sides to make a box. The print is then
ready to display on the wall, and the black foam board shows around the
edge and looks like a frame! The matte paper without glass cover looks
great without reflections!

I have pictures of the finished product on my web site he

You will see several variations of this technique.

If you want to see my Elmore Box Mount with one of your (or my) images,
I am selling them for a limited time on eBay for $10, my cost of
materials. My ebay home page is he

Hi.

Yes, a lot of people make Prints.

Have you never noticed any of the threads here about Printers, and or
Paper, and even about ICC profiles?

I believe there is a NG somewhere for Digital Cameras.

Lots of people in this group make prints although I must admit that I
haven't made any since yesterday morning.

I am disappointed that the only discussion about my post is whether or
not my ink jet printer is digital or analog. I guess I will try
another group. Would you give me your comments if I sent you a free
print (including free shipping) using this technique?

Thanks.

replace "g" with "a"

Bill,

See my original post to start this topic above. I gave links to my web
site and ebay sale. Lots of photos there. If you post a constructive
comment here, I will send you a free print of your image using this
technique (offer limited to the next few weeks).
