New Lineco products for photo mounting

We recently added a couple of new products. Lineco Photo Tabs are an acid free archival double sided adhesive used to permanently mount photos and other items into an album or scrapbook. They are safe for inkjet prints and photographs and passed the Photo Activity Test.
We have always had Lineco 4 inch clear mounting strips but we just added longer12 inch clear mounting strips. They are also acid and lignin free and use a Ph Neutral pressure sensitive adhesive. They are even safer for mounting artwork than the photo tabs because when using the stips, no adhesive comes into contact with the photograph or artwork. They are similar to photo corners but support the straight edges of the photograph instead of the corners. They can also be used to provide extra support along with photo corners .
Lastly we added 1 pound print weights. These are great for holding a print in place after you have it centered. For instance, once you have hinged your mat to the backing board you center you image under the mat. Place the weight bag on the photo and lift the mat up. Now you can easily attach photo corners to the photograph, t-hinge it, or use photo tabs to secure the photo to foamcore backing. We also have lighter 1/2 pound weight bags.
Cheers,
Mark
