Digital BW, The Print

Please translate: "AR/Museum" glass. What is it and from where is it
available.

Appreciate it no end.

  Subject: [Digital BW] Framing without glass


  I've sometimes wondered at peoples desire to frame without glass.  We had
an
  opening here this weekend of photography at the local community college.
  Half of the work was digital output, most of it behind glass.

  Now I'm always astonished that people feel they can point to the point of
  poking works of art - and they DO.

  There was one work, which was a composite of images blended together for a
  seamless effect, except the irregular edges were left in place.  This is a
  'straight' photograph, the blend is only because we don't all walk around
  with 6x17pano cameras.  It had many peoples attention because of their
  fascination with seeing the perfection of the blend (which the artist did
  'manually' in photoshop, not a stitch program).

  If it had not been behind glass it would effectively been damaged on
opening
  night - and not by children.  Therefore if a work is publicly accessible &
  you want the feel of framing without glazing, I would recommend using
  AR/Museum glass - Worth the expense.
