[artshow_photo] Selling prints without mats

 

I am trying to decide how to offer my fine art prints for sale in the bins. I had originally thought that I would mat them and put them in Clear Bags. But after reading some discussion online, it seems that serious photographers are simply putting the finished prints into the clear bags with a stiffiner like acid free foam core or mat board and then letting the customer decide later how to matt/frame them.

I want to be sure to use archival methods and am arriving at the conclusion that it would not be a good thing to put on a mat and then permanently adhere it to a backing with double sided tape as I had originally planned.

I was thinking that I might have some neutral color mats in my booth to offer for a small upcharge if a customer wanted to put the print in to a mat on the spot.

What are your thoughts on this? It is my intention to aim more for the fine art collectors market rather than the average person who might want a nice photo on the wall, but, of course, I would like to sell to that client as well. Any thoughts or suggestions are really appreciated!
