Digital BW, The Print

I agree except that it is nice to use a matt to offset (?) the print in the
frame somewhat.  I personally find the front matt to be more aesthetically
appealing.  The question is whether a with matt/no glass combination is
worse than a without matt/no glass combination.

The purpose of a mat is to keep the glass from touching the surface of
the print. If there is a protective coating of the print and there is
no glass no mat is necessary: the print can be displayed like an oil
painting. One way would be to mount the print on an aluminum sheet, or
on foam core.
