Digital BW, The Print

This topic was written about extensively not long ago on either this forum or the PiezoBW forum. 

Search for Mark Tucker.  He had an exhibition across country and needed to ship prints.

  Congratz on the show, Roger. I'm no expert on packaging; you might look
  for local firms that specialize in packaging and ask them.

  But here's a suggestion on framing: while I prefer glass over plexi,
  artists who ship prints to shows often opt for plexi to reduce risk of
  breakage. You might consider this. But if you do use glass, use a
  product called GlasGard to protect the edge of the glass from contact
  with the metal frame.

  It's easy to apply and really reduces breakage. If you do your own
  framing, you'll find it in your wholesale catalogs; if you use a framer,
  they'll know about it.
