Digital BW, The Print

Martin  

Can you please explain your comment below.  I am doing this - ie spraying my prints 
with 3 coats of Lyson Print Guard and then framing with archival mats and no glass.  I 
am puzzled as to why the mats would degrade quickly of they are of archival quality.  
On the last lot of prints I had framed I went so far as to spray the outward facing 
surface of the mats with Print Guard as well.

Regards

Steve
