If only ink is added, clogging will occur. To prevent this, a little recommended solvent should be used on the pad. It should be possible to obtain five or six impressions from one inking. The use of a foil overlay is recommended for glossy surfaces and the use of silicone release paper for other surfaces. Some adhesive sheets allow the print to be repositioned affer fixing.
Several makes are available in sheet or roll form.
Note Always read the safety advice given by the manufacturers before using spray adhesives. Solvents must be allowed to evaporate completely from both print and mount before the two are brought into contact. When mounting large prints, this method is an advantage, as there is time to position the print correctly and remove any air bubbles that might have become trapped between the print and the mount, without damaging the print. These gases come from everyday items such as newly laid carpet, wet gloss paint, newly applied adhesives and traffic fumes. Selenium toner is recommended as it has little effect on the image colour.
