 <<I've done this using a dry-mount press, with moderate success. It is 
 excruciatingly difficult to make a seam that doesn't show! My first 
 attempt shows visible seams from across the room, my second, you have 
 to be within a few feet and looking for them.
 
 Since then, I've learned that I should be pre-heating my prints 
 before seaming, so perhaps my third attempt will be better. I'm using 
 an old Seal 150 I got used for $100.>>

So did you finally butt the edges or do you overlap?

I have found if you use "carpet cutter trick "to fist overlap then cut you 
can get a perfect butt joint. I plan to laminate  with glossy film this can 
help to hide the seam.

What thickness  mounting tissue did you use?

I reall would like the 7000 but for now I can try to design a boarder at the 
seam this really help to hide the seam as it is on a constant color area!

Have you seamed photo's yet?

Thanks for the tips
