Hi Steve

I tend to disagree with you about temperature in a Hot press for dry mounting as most of your publications and technical people specify 90deg c.
And you cannot destroy anything?

Well I have some news for you if you get hold of a Fuji digitaly printed photographic image and dry mount this onto 5mm foamcore at 90 deg c for longer than two minutes you can expect lots of problems the image will fall apart.

For these and other digital printed images and is that not all images printed this way if not inkjet I use 79 deg c to dry mount and 2 .30 minutes only.

Any longer or temp increase means trouble and i don't want any of that.
