will uv light damage handcoated b&w paper?

[chris77]

hello apug.
i am about to present a photograph in a gallery showcase during the summer. its certainly a good glass window (uv filter) but nevertheless i am wondering if the intensive light will damage the print.
its paper coated with foma emulsion.

any thoughts?
thanks,
chris

My thoughts are, no more than any other bw print. But if it worries you so much, get it framed with a quality glass designed to help stop deterioration = you'd need to speak to the framer, who will have much more knowledge about these things.

Good luck with the showcase.
