I’ve made a few final adjustments in addition—<i>since the previously published version</i>. I&#039;m sure that none of this is particularly informative for many of you—<i>I realize that you are a very clever bunch</i>. Anyway, I thought I&#039;d share this nonetheless.</font></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Georgia">When I’m making printed pieces to customize a collection I never print on card stock. Running card stock through an inkjet printer can be tricky. If you do it incorrectly you can damage your printer. Plus the printing surface of card stock is not the best quality. I prefer to print on premium inkjet paper and then mount the final print on heavy art board (Bristol) using double sided peel and stick adhesive sheets. I trim out the mounted prints to size and then secure them in position in the display case with small (1 inch square) pieces of the mounting adhesive.</font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Georgia">[ATTACH=full]658220[/ATTACH] </font></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Georgia"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><font size="3"><span style="color: #bfbfbf"><i>Edit: Added Monday, 7/31—1:33 p.m.</i></span></font></font></p><p><font face="Georgia">I realize the information provided on the inner panel is minimal.
