Are you talking about printing directly onto mountboard? If so the Arqadia 400 series of alpha cellulose mountboard seems absorb colur very easily and with out going all blotchy. Howewer, if you are talking about mounting cheap open edition prints with a significant ongoing collectablity, or importance, then I tend to often dry mount them.

You just run it through a printer that will take flat sheets, and then trim down to size. I haven't done it for years, but some mountboard works well, and some doesn't.
