Digital BW, The Print

Why not mount under a thin perspex glass (plexiglass) 
Another way would be to seal the print with a coating that you can 
get from a signmakers supplier. You might also try to coat the print 
with one of the varnish's intended to preserve a matt print.
I would first mount  the print onto a foam board and then try one of 
the above.
