OK I suppose I'm going to get groans for saying "see the archive," but we
discussed this *extensively* 2 years ago, and I've got dispatches
to write stacked up like airplanes over Kennedy Airport, so I make
this brief:
M&M Distributors in NJ, 1/800-526-2302 sells 3 kinds (at least) of glass
locally, will name other distributors nationally.
Something called Vision 2000 claims always true color, 18 pieces 16x20
were $158, but a sample turned out to look hazy, it's called "micro etch"
for "reduced reflection.
Denglass, supposedly has a bluish hue, but I found it much much better
than regular picture frame glass, by the box, 40 sheets 11x14 $291. This
is the one I bought. The life of the print comes through, not perfectly,
but quite well.
Another glass called Crystal Vue is frankly "anti-reflective" and would
therefore give more distortion. (Actually I didn't see it, but in my
experience "anti-reflective glass" means it destroys your artwork.)

David, that is an absolutely brilliant concept --- do it!
