Dear Uncle Dick, Thanks for doing all those experiments for me. Maybe we should dispense with mats altogether! One possibility would be just to frame photographs like posters with no mats. If people are worried about the print touching the glass, you could add those little spacer things that Daniel Smith sells to keep the frame glass away from the print. Or you could do what I usually do and use thumbtacks to secure the print to the wall. Or maybe those clear photo corners. --shannon ============================================================================================================= To unsubscribe from this list, go to www.freelists.org and logon to your account (the same e-mail address and password you set-up when you subscribed,) and unsubscribe from there.
