Digital BW, The Print

If you are not worried about archival then it is not a problem. A 
couple other issues you might run into over time is that you may need 
to replace the mat every now and then since it may buckle over time 
and depending on where you are hanging them you may need to worry 
about finger prints. Another option to consider is non-glare glass or 
acrylic. It is much less expensive than anti-reflective but it can 
cause a slight loss of sharpness (excessive loss of sharpness and 
fuzziness if you get a low quality version).
