How do you present your matte inkjet prints?

[cirwin2010]

Like the thread title, how do you like to present your matte paper inkjet prints?

I started off with inkjet many years ago before getting into making silver gelatin prints (which I display behind anti-reflective glass). At the time I gravitated toward putting matte paper in cheap frames because it reduced the amount of reflections on the print. I also happen to think matte papers are where inkjet is at its best vs glossy/semi gloss paper.

However, I think some of that magic disappears when you put matte prints behind glass though I admit I haven't tried anti-reflectice glass yet. I'm getting back into inkjet printing for some of my projects and I'm just currious what folks do to display there matte prints.

I put them behind anti reflective glass for a couple of reasons. One being that changes in humidity can cause the paper to buckle or warp, and being enclosed in the frame behind the glass reduces the swings in humidity the print experiences. The other is that it's much more difficult to clean the surface of the print than it is to clean the glass. You would need to get in touch with a paper and print conservator. The print will need to be cleaned eventually either way, but much more frequently if it's not protected by glass.

I just back them with cardboard and double-sided tape and display them on easels. They're all 12x12 (for my Blads) from Red River.

I have never graduated from glossy inkjet prints. I need to get brave and bust out some money and buy some fancy stuff.

I put mine behind museum glass for the reasons stated above and because the glass is barely noticeable which allows the beauty of the print to reveal itself.
