Digital BW, The Print

I give up after this ... and pardon me for being tetchy with my reply - but
you really should read the original post before firing off so called
answers.  I said:
 
"They show up most clearly in angled light in the unprinted or light areas.
Be very careful with your unprinted paper!"
And I said:
"BUT its surface shows finger marks from even the slightest touch, and even
with freshly washed clean hands."
 
So, yes Richard, it can be a problem when prints aren't dry - but again -
that WAS NOT the point of my post.  The unprinted paper is easily
fingermarked - so if you have visible borders they show up.  And yes - of
course matting helps.

"I know the simple way to avoid fingerprints on prints is 'don't touch the
print'. But it's not easy and of course it's not always under your
control."
and
"Back to my original point - it's not always possible stop someone (a
potential customer for example) from touching a print." 

It is usually a problem when the print is not completely dry, or hands are 
not clean (oily). Once dry, you shouldn't have that problem. Borders help, 
matting is even better to allow fingers to hold the print by the matte.
Hinged 
mattes are easily tranferrable between prints.
