Digital BW, The Print

Go to your local framing shop and see if they will sell you some interspacing. This is an archival product that is placed around all four sides of a piece of glass so the rabbit of the frame and the interspacing protects the print from the glass.Light Impressions did sell it but only in huge amounts, and then that company has turned into a mess and I can't recommend buying anything from them these days.

      I've decided to try framing some prints without a cover matte.  These are Cone K7 grayscale prints that will have been dry mounted, with a Seal press, to archival (4-ply) matte board.  I've determined that the heating process does not adversely affect the Cone (carbon) inks.



To keep the print from contacting the glass, I'll need spacers around the edges.  I have no experience with these, so I'm looking for guidance.  I typically mount in 16"x20" frames.



If anyone can point me to a source that explains techniques, products and pitfalls, I'd be most appreciative.
