the Red River online newsletter: glass or no glass?

2018-07-16 by paulmwhiting@...

I'm a subscriber to their newsletter, and I use their paper as well. I'm in no way employed by that company to say this, but I like their paper and I'm due for another order.

The last couple of newsletters contain a feature on Paul Roark and his method of carbon ink printing, which I also use. I was glad to see him get some publicity as well as his technique of carbon printing. I learned one thing that somehow I must have missed over the years, and that is that Paul does not display his photos under glass. It so happens that lately I've had two photos on my wall, same subject, one with and one without glass, and I've noticed I prefer the print displayed without glass.

I'd like to hear from other members here on this issue. Glass or no glass... let's hear some opinions! One concern I would have is... what about dust?

Paul W.
