Digital BW, The Print

Putting any paper print against glass/glazing that has any chance of
sticking is a bad idea. What would make it stick? Coatings, carrier that
hasn't completely dried, etc.  You are looking at a material that has the
ability to absorb moisture and in so doing allowing the material in the
paper, on the paper to bond to the glass. Why take the risk? 

 

I have a fish tank in the kitchen that I made a quick background for with my
4800 on some Polar Matte from Red River. The tank will leak over the top due
to the bubbler. A small build up of moisture in the back near the bottom,
not only warped the paper but actually dissolved it. This is extreme and
used to illustrate that paper and ink is not a solid object like a stone,
bronze, etc. It will breathe a little and it is simply not a good idea to
put it in a position to lay against a smooth flat surface under even the
lightest of pressure.

In Amadou Diallo's excellent book (p. 311), the statement is made "No
matter which material you choose, it is important that the print does
not come into direct contact with the glazing."

Assuming that the print has dried for perhaps a week before framing,
why is it important that the print not touch the glazing material?

Because it might stick to it. The mat is supposed to provide the space 
between the glass and the print.
