Digital BW, The Print

I mat and frame my prints without glass;
> tactile paper feel is not a concern.   

Out of curiosity, why frame without glass? If you present or sell a
print, do you envision it in someone's home or office that way? 

fwiw I assume glass or polyester sleeves. I'm partially thinking in
terms of protection, but behind glass or polyester the fussing about
matte/gloss/Dmax-measurement seems to become irrelevant...the image
itself resumes dominance.

Similarly, I don't understand loose, unsleeved prints in boxes ...
hopefully viewers will enjoy my prints on a wall (or polyester folder,
like Itoya), and ideally in a home (cooking residue, dust, children
etc) ...nobody be sitting and handling them. . Might be different if I
sought collectors rather than viewers.
