I am going to be exhibiting some inkjet prints of photographic imagery i have created. They're on nice papers - epson 3800.

It's a one night affair so I would like to mount the images rather than frame to keep the prices reasonable and make easy the transport. They are ranging from 8x10 to 21x14.

I am planning to use gatorboard and a luster laminate + I was thinking to do them flush to the edges - but am open to any suggestions otherwise.

Will it limit framing options should a buyer want to frame if there is not a border?

Any aternative recommendations?

I would use this: http://www.framingsupplies.com/3M/3MSpecialtyTapes.htm

Mount the print to the gatorboard with a margin all round so the prints would be less problematic to ultimately frame or mat.

I know some here have heart palpitations when someone suggest dry mount, but I use it nonetheless.

I guess a margin is a smart idea. I appreciate the link - although I think I will use a mounting service from a printing company as I don't have the materials or time to do this myself sad.gif
