And the correct answer is.....(lightboxes)

[Tara]

Hey guys! The wanderer returns. Hope you're all alright. Right I have a small question for you.
I am putting on an exhibition of my work which involves lightboxes. The guy who is making them for me is using glass fronts because he says that that will prevent hot spots and newstons rings. However...someone else has told me that glass in fact causes these problems and he should use perspex fronts. Agggghh! Does anyone KNOW who is right??

:roll:

I get Newton's rings on scans from the glass on my scanner, so I would have thought that would be the same for display, but it looks like if you use anti-reflective glass, it isn't and issue, which makes sense.
