I have always wondered how museums handle really large photos. I can understand paintings because they come sort of “pre-mounted” on canvases, but what about photos? Say a museum received a gift of a life-sized Richard Avedon photo. How would that photo be mounted to show? Would it be framed? Glued to some kind of backing? I am not so much interested on how they attach it to the wall, but rather how do that prepare it for show. Any insights? The reason I ask is because I am thinking of making some large prints, like 40x60 or larger, but am not sure what to do once I get them.
Nice to know! My darkroom setup came with what might be the exact same print dryer, never had one before, but nice to know it has another use too.
It doesn’t. That commenter is confused, a canvas flip-flop dryer is absolutely not a dry mount press.
