Digital BW, The Print

Very interesting commentary. I have wanted to try the Premier FA. I think I will 
and will also use the PrintShield. I also dislike using glass;however, it's a 
must in most cases.\

Subject: [Digital BW] no glass vs. glass vs. plexi: which shows carbon print at 
its best?

  
I'm very fond of my carbon prints on Premier Art FineArt paper, even to the 
point where I now have some 11x14 prints at a gallery with no glass or plexi, 
simply matted and in Nielsen matte black frames.

I've coated the prints with Premier Art PrintShield, which I suppose affords 
some protection. It just seems the blacks are richer with nothing else 
interfering with their appearance. But I'm a little nervous about their being 
vulnerable to dust, wayward fingers, etc.

Over the years, with my darkroom prints, I've used ordinary glass from a local 
glass shop... I've heard window glass has a greenish tint. I've not noticed it 
previously, maybe I haven't paid enough attention. And some brands of plexi seem 
clearer than others, from what few plexi framed prints I've seen.

Thoughts, anyone? (I did check previous threads, have seen some mention of this, 
sorry if this subject has been beaten to death but I didn't quite find my 
answers.)

Thanks!
