I'd make sure the client knows that it is NOT recommended to present an image this way and you will not warranty the print if displayed in that manner. Suggest some other better ways. Have you thought about laminating to plexi or glass( not my choice) with transparent adhesive? Or mounting to a board to provide a rigid substrate to will prevent buckling.

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. jimbo ----- Original Message ----- From: Arthur Fink To: DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com <mailto:DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint%40yahoogroups.com> Sent: Friday, March 18, 2011 4:46 AM 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.
