Digital BW, The Print

Berel, It is that static charge that I was questioning in the effects that
Mark recently had to deal with. When we mounted cibachromes on sheets of
plastic, we cooked them for a day or so at ??? I forget the temp but I want
to say some where around 125F to 150F with the protective paper barrier
peeled off. Has any of the recent light fast testing been done with plexi in
the mix?

You are asking the wrong question here- cast acrylic is optically better,
neither plastic is particularly healthy for the print and should always be
separated from the print surface by a widow mat, or fillet(spacer) or both -
also - both plastics generate static electricity when cleaned/dusted which
can if discharged damage the surface of a print - when possible/practical
use glass - when plastic must be used be sure to separate it from the print
