I cut the paper to leave a thin white border and mount on black board. Always leave a slightly larger margin at the bottom, otherwise the print will look low on the board. It's an optical illusion, but a centrally mounted print will look odd.
Thanks for tips John, of course I should have said the paper the same size as the board I'll have to have a practice with some unimportant prints ( all of them )Quote:
do you have the board the same size as the print or leave a border?
The boards are always 50x40cm and the prints are based on A3 paper. The shape of the print will depend on the shape of the crop for a particular image.do you have the board the same size as the print or leave a border?

A related question: are you still using 20" x 16" boards? I ask because the L&CPU, for example, now requires 50x40cm boards to be in line with the PAGB.
One of the things I hate most about print mounting is cutting my stock of boards down to the new size.
For mounting I use 3M Photo Mount (red can) and it does the job. I know window mounting looks great when done well, but I never have time.
Will have to ask at my club. I think you mentioned the PDI resolution is changed too, so that will be a new projector to buy which will please clubs everywhere. Guess a new rule book will have to be printed to.A related question: are you still using 20" x 16" boards?

I have a tin of the spray glue (red can), do you have the board the same size as the print or leave a border? Would save the cost of the "frame"

Hi Alan, I buy the mounts ready cut "in house" at the clubThanks Graham. I'll check with them.

Details from the back of a "back"
5011385948691 Daler - Rowney 302128042 Poster Black 153410
Think the fronts are from the same stock and lots of members buy them.
I have seen prints just taped to the back of a "front" with parcel tape so assume the print is printed on thick paper, (maybe thats just for internal competitions don't think they would travel very well.)
not sure if this is helpful or not, will have to read the rules yes it says "mounted on board 20" x 18" and 3mm in thickness" assume this is total thickness?
Memo to self must buy micrometer

Hi David tried clicking on your link and got not found. I think the "My Website" (its highlighted and underlined) is forming part of the address in your link. Cutting and Pasting http://www.imagesbydavidstorm.foliopic.com worked as it should

The new site is a lot better now you have removed the "scary" photos. I'm sure building the perfect website for anyone is not an easy task but yours is getting there.

I'm waiting for my camera to be returned from repair so all plans on hold just now. I have an old *ist DL2 but it gobbles up the batteries so just use it for practicing marco shots in the house, I'm sure I have a pen point and a small screw I haven't shot yet
