Conservation glass

2006-11-28 by Richard Smallfield

Hello,
I wondered how many of us always frame pigment prints with conservation glass.

To keep prices down I use plain glass, but wonder if I should be using uv protective glass to ensure longevity.

I had a poster up in a cafe advertising my portrait services and in a year it had gone quite green - that was with Ultrachromes on Epson Matte Heavyweight. I don't know how much protection plain glass gives - not much I would think.

thanks,
Richard
