Digital BW, The Print

> Have you been leaving a 'reveal' (or gap) between the image and the
matt? Doing so allows the bare paper texture to show at the edge of
the image and with art papers like Photo Rag this can be advantageous.

No, I haven't tried that but I believe I've seen that method at a few
museum exhibits.  Except in those cases, the edge of the paper was
fully visible on all sides, with about 1/4" of space between the paper
edge and matt.  I've seen it most often with old prints.

I'll give it a try!
