Digital BW, The Print

Paul;

I agree that using 'the good stuff' is the best solution for high-
end gallery environments; But what I'm looking for is an inexpensive 
solution that doesn't look cheap or compromise much on quality and 
archivalness for 'impulse buy' small prints in an art fair 
environment. I think for the time being I'll simply print down the 
border a tiny bit, and not worry about matching the color until I 
find the right paper for the job.

Right now printing on canvas is probably the only publicly accepted 
way of getting rid of the mat and glass; I'm not very fond of that, 
(in fact I find it downright offensive) but most people who do it 
claim the public loves canvas. It makes the photo seem more 
like 'real art' or some BS like that. Yech.
