Mounting Fine Art Prints
We are getting a lot of inquiries for how to mount (and less so overlaminate) fine art or giclee prints in roll laminators. The major needs as we have been told are for the adhesives to be acid free, non-yellowing and last at least 50+ years. We have found cold or pressure sensitive adhesives to be the best choice as the thicker papers make heat activated adhesives more difficult in a roller press (dry mount adhesive in a press would be easier and archival dry mount adhesives are available). We have identified acid free acrylic adhesives and are testing them now. While they seem fine to us initially, any experience others have had would be appreciated.
