John, I'm afraid you are missing the point. I don't care whether particular linen-backing companies are hacks or not. I'm sure some of them are positively professional. My main point is that the linen-backing process itself is a travesty. The fact that you own good looking posters on linen that

Seems like earlier this year someone on MOPO was talking about a restorer that somehow starched one sheets, or something to that effect. But I'm not sure if that is better for the paper or not. I believe you could still see the markings on the back and so on with this resto method. When it
