I have a snap frame like that above my desk. We have them here for ISO B 
formats, this one 50x70 cm. Anodised aluminium frame. I use it without 
the PVC foil protection. HP Matte Litho-Realistic paper + Vivera pigment 
and the print sprayed with a Talens acryl varnish that does not change 
the print appearence. Print vacuum mounted with 3M photo mount on museum 
board. Close to a year now and it still looks good. The idea was that if 
it did not last another image would replace it. So not really going for 
eternity but for the appeal of a bare matte surface without wasting an 
expensive rag paper.
