Digital BW, The Print

Some folks I know laminate the prints and then have 'em mounted to DiBond.
Charrette sells Dibond and another aluminum substrate, I recently learned,
if you have the tools to cut it.

For really large prints, this seems like a viable option. A couple of the
photographers from Michigan that I know use this method for really large
work, 20x30 and larger. I've been looking at it as a way to mount large
panoramas 15 x 72, as they are tough to glaze.
