Digital BW, The Print

The common advice is to frame digital ink jet color prints under glass to
prevent, or at least attenuate, the harmful effects of atmospheric
pollutants and UV light.  I am not sure if similar deleterious effects will
affect prints made with carbon inks.  Protective aspects aside, I agree that
in many cases glazing can degrade the visual experience conveyed by framed
prints.  Consequently-having found that such glazing is the least
"intrusive"-when possible I will use the highest quality museum glass with
UV protective and antireflective properties.  From the "normal viewing
distances" I do not find such glazing degrades the visual experience to
significant degree
