Questions & Answers

Shopper : I still have a Seal mounting press and understand that it is NOT suitable for mounting photo prints produced with ink jet printers. What are the current approaches to mounting used by amateur and professional photographers - besides this 3M product?LOY E : I agree with the first answer.The questioner seems to imply that he wants to use this with a dry mount press.The would be like putting a cheese sandwich in the press.The material is soft and gooey at room temperature.DANIEL B : For smaller prints self adhesive mount board. High tac is is better but you will likely need a roller press to avoid air bubbles. For Larger prints save your self some time and frustration, This 3M product is far easier to work with than others I have tried.

Useful,but difficult to use.

This material is a practical alternative to either dry mounting or cold mounting,mainly because all that is needed is the material itself and the included squeegee and release sheet.The drawback with this material is that it can be tricky to use.The adhesive closely resembles rubber cement,and it is sometimes difficult to get the adhesive to transfer completely.By far the worst problem is the potential messiness.Small lumps of the adhesive can be picked by the hands,and then can be transferred to other surfaces,usually the material being mounted.Once deposited,it is nearly impossible to remove without ruining a print.Loose bits of adhesive are everywhere;on the work surface ,the floor,and clothing.With this material,technique is everything,and much practice and care is needed to use this product.But,it does work.And,Adorama seems to be the only place to but it.

Easy to use...GREAT RESULTS!!!

I bought this as an alternative to send out project photos to be dry-mounted in our architecture firm's office. This not only saved us a few hundred dollars...but we have half the roll left for future mounting. We have tried to use spray mounts in the past and they have never come close to the results we achieved with this product.

The best adhesive out there

I used this stuff as a graphic designer in the Marine Corps and it's awesome. No over spray or mess as with the canned stuff and holds stronger and longer than other adhesives.

A dry, synthetic, easy-to-use, pressure sensitive adhesive. Allows repositioning of artwork until bond is made permanent. Just unroll PMA adhesive side up, position artwork, and cut the PMA flush or leave a narrow border for trimming. Place the artwork face up on the release paper, protect with slip sheet and rub with a squeegee or roller to transfer adhesive to back of the artwork. Remove the liner and position the adhesive coated artwork on the mounting surface. Cover with a slip sheet and rub with squeegee or use the C-35 PMA applicator for a permanent bond.
