ABSTRACT

The edges of gumoil prints can graphically show the process and its component colors and thereby distinguish prints made by gumoil from other photographic printing methods. The gumoil print is unique. How best to present it requires some consideration. Most fine art photographs are matted between high-quality museum boards. The board and other materials such as tape, mounting corners, and dry mounting tissue must be acid-free and register a neutral pH. For exhibition purposes, matted prints are framed and sealed under glass. If people want to sell prints, rather than simply exhibit or publish them, two obstacles loom. The first is that the prices will have to be high to compensate for the length of time and the considerable effort required to make just one acceptably fine print. The second obstacle is that making one or more true duplicate prints is virtually impossible without a great deal of experience.
