Digital BW, The Print

Robert,

First of all I'm sorry to have missed Julian's show in Spain. Hope he 
does one in Paris soon so I can admire his images in real life and not 
just from a web page.

I also had my first all PiezoBW show recently - in Italy last July, and 
your question is pertinent. I called mine Carbon Pigment Prints (and 
explained the process in detail to any and all who asked), not that it 
matters much, but as regards the glass I did frame them under glass, 
mostly for protection but I didn't like the effect. The prints lost that 
deep velvety almost three-dimensional look typical of Piezo inks. Piezo 
prints on fine art papers also have a wonderful tactile quality and it is 
too bad to lose that behind glass. On the other hand there isn't really 
an alternative. I don't trust the spray coatings floating around.

Chers,

Nina
