FWIW:
I have a blue toned FB print (blue toning is one of the shurest ways to
DEcrease the permanance of your prints....;-)..) sandwiched between two
glass plates and 2 sheets of archival matt board, no protection on the
edges, hanging in my bathroom for 3 years: it's brozing/silvering at the
edges a oit, which is actually kinda attractive, but it's keeping
surprisingly well considering the conditions (before the bathroom it had
been hanging in a bedroom for 2 years, and the bronzing already started
then)
Best,
Cor
