Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What is the carrier for this tissue made of? cotton rag? or?

A: The manufacture does not list what Drytac Trimount Heat-Activated Permanent Dry Mounting Tissue (8.5 x 11", 100 Sheets) is made of. Only that the adhesive is pH-neutral.

Q: 2. What is the difference between the buffered and unbuffered Archival Methods tissue?

A: Buffered tissue has a buffering agent (usually calcium carbonate) added to the paper pulp during the paper making process to increase the pH level of the paper and make it more alkaline. By increasing the pH of the paper, it becomes non-acidic, and assists in neutralizing other acids in the environment that may make the paper or tissue become acidic over time. As acids can destroy photographic prints over time, buffered paper is preferred for most photographic prints. Un-buffered paper is paper that has not been altered, and is typically recommended for archival storage of protein-based materials, which are often materials that come from animals, such as leather, wool, silk, feathers, horsehair, pearls, etc., but can also include cyanotype prints and blueprints to prevent them from fading.

Q: 3. Does this scratch? Isn't silk or the kind of cloths you get from an Optometrist better? Are the cloths from an optometrist better or worse?

Q: 4. Can you make digital prints on this paper? Does it have a profile?

A: With coated papers (aka papers with sizing), the coating is the one that controls absorption of the ink and prevents bleeding and smearing. In some cases, you can indeed inkjet print on uncoated papers, but most manufacturers will not produce ICC profiles for them as it is not an intended use for them. In the case of this Hahnemuhle rag, it's highly likely that you will not get the best results printing on this with an inkjet printer unless you are able to control ink load. Even if you are able to prevent bleed, you will probably also see reduced contrast and saturation, as well as crushed blacks.
