Dried down gloss darkroom prints. N surface C prints. I'd have a few made and hang them up and look at them and see how they look. Behind glass the only way you'd know the mat was mat is that you'd get just a tad less contrast and saturation. But I'd hate to buy a bunch of that glossy paper for anything! Hate to have extra glossy inkjet prints lying around. I just hate it but that's just me. (What a pain!) mark rabiner :) http://spokenword.to/rabiner/
