Seal Inc dry mounting press

[JSD]

I have the oportunity to get hold of an old Seal Inc. dry mount press. It has a temperature range of 180 to 350 degrees. Can I use this on inkjet photo papers? Will the heat spoil the print? Are the laminating tissues still available? Thanks for any help you can give. JSD

you will want about 190-200 degrees. anything over 200 is risky. But i would go for it

we have mounted inkjet prints with no problems, you might want to consider making or buying a weight platen to put on the print with a protective cover as it cools off it will try to lift itself off the backboard. The weight prevents that from happening

Opher and Ann, thanks for the suggestions. I need to run it through it's paces and make sure it works, then decide. Thanks, JSD

you could also tip in or hinge as inkjet paper will not curl as does silver paper does.
