I'l be framing number of largish prints behind glass. Mounted & glazed, but not using the expensive non-reflective glass.

I'm considering some of the glossy C Type papers - e.g. Kodak metallic.
What I'm wondering is.. will there be a double reflection, one from the paper and one from the glass?
Should I be going for Fuji Matt?
Any other top tips?

fwiw I prefer all of the C Type samples from The Print Space to their Giclee samples.
 
I have a a couple of prints on Kodak metallic that I mounted under std glass and don't personally find reflection an issue but they are on walls that don't face any windows.
I would take some photos of them for you but we are out of our house whilst some dry rot is being dealt with.
 
REally depends if the print is mounted behind or too the glass. If behind, depends on the gap betweeen the glass and the print.
 
I've mounted prints behind acrylic with no problems, however these were with mounts and an luster paper. Although I do have a couple that are straight onto acrylic, from a few years ago ,with no problem, but again luster paper
