<x-charset iso-8859-1>Stan,
    Thanks for the comments. Do you really get a good, permanent bond with
MT5 at 180 degrees? MT5 likes to operate at 220-230 degrees. I would think
at 180 you wouldn't reach the necessary temp to get it to work. Would you
not want to use Archival mount or Colormount, both of which operate at your
lower temperatures? I'm thinking you pretty much want to treat the inkjet
prints in the same fashion as regular RC prints.
