Framing with no mat or spacer

2011-03-18 by Arthur Fink

A client has asked for one of my prints framed with no mat, and no spacer.

I'm hesitant to do this -- worried that the print-glass junction 
could be a problem.  Would there be condensation, moire rings, 
mildew?  Would the print buckle a bit and leave a gap in some 
places?  Or, or my fears groundless?

If I do end up using spacers of some kind, can you offer any 
guidance?  Particular type, brand, style?

I print on matte papers -- typically proofing on EEM and final prints 
on Moab Entrada Natural.  The brand may change, but this series won't 
be printed on a gloss or semi-gloss paper.


Thanks much,


Arthur Fink
