I definitely have a roll of old-style (not waxy) butcher paper that I use for lots of things (even printing via the 7800 for things like large graph paper for helping auditorium show layouts). That may be enough, but I wonder the extent to which there are aerosols floating all over the room and ultimately sticking to other things in the room.

Those look very useful, but they are not realistic for my volume of prints and space available.

They are sort of the default display mode for large canvases. I'm keeping an eye on that option. I tend to think a frame, however, makes a photographic display look a better. The separation from the surroundings and illusion that one is looking through a window at a B&W reality tends to help give a 3D feeling, I think. Also, I like to have a signing boarder of white. I also see the gallery wraps in our gallery beat up a lot on the edges by poor handling and storage. But, gallery wrap or the black edged "museum wrap" variant is on the radar.
