Digital BW, The Print

Hi all,

Firstly warm thanks to all on this list. Without your knowledge, I would 
never come this far. I have a one man show on a local art gallery in 
january and I've been printing the prints. I have a HP deskjet 9800, 
which, as strange it sounds, prints stunning BO prints. Don't know if 
it's the subject (minimalism) or what, but the prints look better on 
epson radiant white watercolour paper black-only. The prints printed 
with 3 greys are ok, but BO has the punch in it.

So much for that. Now I need advice on how to frame the pictures for the 
show. I have some 50 pictures (it's not a small place) so just framing 
everything costs too much. The prints are mainly super-B sized and I'm 
thinking just to mount them on a cardboard without any frames and the 
cardboard cutted to the size of the print, so no extra space around the 
print. I've framed some of the prints and they're on the wall here in my 
home, but I must truly say, I dislike the glass. Maybe a non-glaring 
glass would be ok, but I doubt I can get it this soon and the cost as 
I'm already invested enough money for this project.

As I said, the prints are minimalistc B&W prints, so I think the display 
can also be minimalistic. But as january is coming nearer and nearer 
every day and so is my sleep, I'd really much like to hear so advices in 
this matter. I'm happy with the prints (more than happy) but I'd like 
also the show to succeed (it could be my ticket to the stars)

thanks
