Digital BW, The Print

I don't use UV glass.  I use acrylic for weight and lack of breaking.  

 

To the extent it's relevant, in my fade tests using fluorescent lights, show
only about a 10% improvement with Premier Art Print Shield, a UV blocker,
whereas the UC "quads" I've made showed about a 30% improvement.   I think
the MIS base may have a bit of UV blocker in it, but I'm not sure.

 

I don't put a lot of cost in the framing because the buyers often don't even
want the frame.

Subject: [Digital BW] UV Glass or not?

 

Hi,
I've always framed exhibition prints with plain glass because of the
published test results on fade resistance.

But I'm now a bit skeptical about Wilhelm's results on UC inks (and HP 59
inks) and wondered if most people were playing safe by using UV glass for
sale prints?

thanks,
Richard
