Re: plexglass face mounting
How about using the plexiglass like a usual glazing method, with a spacer to keep the print from mooshing up against the plexi, so you wouldn't have the unevenness of the print surface causing a problem with contact that Keith was describing. This would provide the protection you need, although it would eliminate the direct experience which is what I like about presenting prints unglazed. To me, glazing a print on aluminum would defeat half the purpose of printing on an unusual surface in the first place, but that's just me. I don't know about yellowing, but some panes of plexi I came across when sorting and packing to move, that had been around for 10 years or so, were scratched and cloudy, and I sent them to the dump rather than moving them. They hadn't been handled or moved around a lot; they'd simply been sitting in a storage loft for years. It's just an observation, FWIW. The fact that plexi scratches easily, which someone else mentioned, would be another reason to simply use it as a glazing material so it could be replaced if necessary, rather than affixing the print to it.
