Is Dry Mounting Obsolete?

[Sheila Pursglove]

That’s the question Chris Paschke, CPF, GCF, will pose in her NEW session at PPFA 2015, January 25-28 at The Paris Las Vegas Hotel & Casino, concurrent with the West Coast Art & Frame Expo/The National Conference. Special pricing allows PPFA members to take advantage of both events, with convention passes and individual pricing available. Nonmembers are very welcome to attend PPFA sessions and events.

With more and more heat sensitive images, wide-format printing and open editions printed to canvas, bamboo, acrylic, vinyl, etc. are hot vacuum and mechanical dry mount presses becoming a thing of the past? Chris will explore and compare mounting alternatives, adhesives, and substrates to handle art in the 21st century. Problem areas will include warping and counter-mounting; HA boards; permanent vs. removable; P-S boards; heavy-duty and high-density mounts; encapsulated charts; and aluminum composite materials (ACM).

Chris’ new class will fill fast! To avoid disappointment – and also to take advantage of Early Bird pricing that ends December 20 – visit our PPFA 2015 page for details and a link to registration on the WCAF site – look for PPFA 2015 in their agenda.

Other PPFA speakers are Ellen Collins, Jared Davis, David Lantrip, Rob Markoff, Joyce Michels, Jim Miller, Hugh Phibbs, Linda Pujo, John Ranes, Suzanne Smeaton, and Linda Wassell.
