Digital BW, The Print

Thanks for all the tips guys.  I was up 'till 4:00am,
but I got my print matted, framed and shipped this
morning.
 BTW, does anyone have any comments on sealing a print
in a frame just hours after printing?  I would have
let it sit longer, but it has to be at the gallery
tomorrow, so I over-nighted it this morning. I'm
printing on PhotoRag 308 w/ VM inks. 
 Hope it'll be alright...

Also, do any of you frame w/out a foam-core backing? 
I used to use it, but now I just use another piece of
mat board behind the mounting board.  The new frames I
use are not very thick and don't have the room. Just
worried about warping of the board..  

Thanks again,
  Daniel
