			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Archival tape is a necessary supply when matting and mounting original works of art or limited edition reproductions.  When conservation framing is a priority, then you always want to use archival materials, such as archival mats, archival mount boards, and archival tape.  Non-archival tape will damage your artwork in the long run by causing yellowing and staining, facilitating the aging process of the artwork. Because tape will come into direct contact with your artwork, be sure to use an archival tape.</p>
<p>Documounts sells several different types of archival tape and mounting options:<strong></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.documounts.com/builders/supplies/27/268/"><strong>Filmoplast White Linen Mounting Archival Tape</strong></a> – This is a strong, self-adhesive white cloth archival tape.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.documounts.com/builders/supplies/27/268/"><strong>ASAP 1” Conservation Paper Tape</strong></a> – This self-adhesive archival paper tape is a strong product yet it has a thinner tape thickness than other tapes.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.documounts.com/builders/supplies/27"><strong>3L Mounting Corners</strong></a> – These adhesives are excellent when you don’t want adhesives to be in direct contact with your artwork.  Slide your artwork into the mounting corners and apply the sticky side to the mount board.  Available in small, medium and large.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.documounts.com/builders/supplies/27"><strong>Lineco See-Thru Mounting Strips</strong></a> – If you don’t want adhesives to touch your artwork directly, then use this archival tape mounts.  These mounting strips have a sticky lower half and a clear, adhesive-free upper half.  The artwork rests inside the upper half of the tape while the lower half sticks to the mount board.</p>
<p>The type of archival tape that is best for you will depend on what you are matting and mounting.  If you are matting artwork that has a blank border around all the edges, then you can use an archival tape such as Linen Mounting Archival Tape or Paper Archival Tape.  If you are mounting rare photographs, then you might want to use archival tapes that don’t touch the surface of the photo, such as mounting corners or mounting strips.</p>
<p>In addition to archival tape, Documounts also sells mats, mount boards, frames, glazing, and many other supplies that you’ll need to display your artwork.</p>
