Mounted many photo's, prints, original art, etc over the years using both a dry mounting vacuum press and without. No problem if you use the proper release board or paper. do not slide anything across the glossy photo or any other work. be careful. watch the photos as they will not go on as well depending on the board it is being mounted on. it shows when paper is too thin. As for fine art paper of good thickness never had a problem. I have used basic glue, white glue, wet mounting glue, mat medium, and glue paper sheets then placed release paper/board on top, then a very thick heavy press wood)etc and more weights. Works but only for heavy papers,etc. Artists paint on anything they can lay their hands on.
