Digital BW, The Print

Styrene is very inexpensive low quality glazing. It is often very thin and easy to scratch. Often used in very inexpensive frames such as cheap poster frames. As others have mentioned no glazing should touch the artwork if you are concerned about longevity. Standard acrylic is more optically pure than standard framing glass and much more optically pure then low quality glass, which has even more green tint. UV glass (including Museum glass) and acrylic have a slight yellow tint, which will have a minor warming effect on the print.

Cheers,
Mark
