Need dry mount press recommendation
I need a recommendation as to what I should look for in a dry mount press -
mostly 5x7 to 11x14 prints - little exerience in this area but I'd like to do ebay rather than new. What should I watch out for. Thanks, Dave |

What should I watch out for. Thanks, Dave The Seal 210M is probably the best for that size, however you could get buy with the 160M (the edges of the mount board would stick out while pressing). The main things that can wrong with these is the: - pad (replaceable) being extremely soiled, damaged, or contaminated with chemicals you don't want on your materials. - the thermostats eventually will go out on these, but can be replaced. They are quite heavy (75 lbs for the 210M) and I suppose they could be damaged during shipping if improperly packaged. |

I used the same one for almost 15 years, including several years of public use in a camera shop. In addition to the pad, I've seen them with the upper heated surface gouged, or so gunked up as to be a chore to clean. Unusual, but you don't want to have to replace THAT part. You may want to look in Shutterbug for camera shows in your area. Presses occasionally turn up, and you'll save a lot of money and worry about shipping. |
