Digital BW, The Print

actually I've seen quite a bit of large inkjet works framed that way, with plexi. The papers were always fairly textured and porous fine art matte, and the entire sandwich not air tight (porous materials as backing too).
The problem I would worry about is that these prints "perspire" well into later life if hit with direct sun, moisture forming at that papersurface/plexi transition would definitely create stains.
If they buy the prints it's their decision, and all you can do is warn them of possible consequences.
Obvioulsy it would not be wise to do it with photo surface papers.
