Digital BW, The Print

Arthur,
Your client is asking for trouble. Use a spacer.. You can purchase a spacer for this but often I just use a strip of acid free matt attached to the frame rabbit. Works fine.

  Subject: [Digital BW] Framing with no mat or spacer


    

  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
