If you can afford it an investment in a dry mounting press, dry mount tissue,
and release paper might be a good route to go. Mount the text on mat board
then cut it down with a mat cutter. The mat board is easy to cut, and is
fairly durable. The initial cost of the press (you might start at a good art
supply store in town) will soon be recovered in staff time spent remounting
text. The finished product looks good, and is inexpensive, which for museums
on a limited budget is always good to hear.

If the funding is there, you also might move toward computer generated text
on Adobe Pagemaker (you can use this in conjunction with other programs such
as Adobe Photoshop) then digital reproduction at an out of house graphics
firm. We are starting to move in this direction, and the quality is
unbeatable.

Hope this helps. Good luck.
