The garage is not climate controlled, midwest US. I'm looking for ideas to avoid wrinkling, etc. Humidity and temperature fluctuation will occur.

Dry mount only? Under glass? Those plastic boxes? other?

Mostly 8x10's but a few larger too.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Metal can be a good choice for areas that are not in a controlled environment. They are much more scratch resistant that a mount under acrylic, for example. They are also waterproof which makes them easy to clean. I've also found that they are more forgiving to uneven lighting. My first preference for prints are for fujiflex under acrylic, but only if there is excellent lighting. Metal is more forgiving otherwise. Oh, and they look fantastic.

Thanks Dave,
Metal is definitely a consideration. I'll look into cost for metal options.
