Presentation is a whole lot but it’s your images that ppl will be viewing/judging
As for me do it right or don’t go!
If they aren't framed, how will you hang them? Frames are inexpensive to make with nice wood purchased from your local supply store.

The triple takes my eye from the picture - double
Sorry - I neglected to say that I like both presentations just the double better.

Of course the double mat would save me a pile of black ink considering that the entire show is in B/W but the triple just seems to pop. I have 34 prints to do and many are panoramas so that black ink just may become an issue. But certainly not as much as framing would be. Thanks for your help.

I really like your landscape image in B&W. I have made "printed" fake matting for some of my digital image prints. Though I do not think I ever made a imaginary black frame as well. Though it could be a cool idea. I take it you are saying you plant to do what we called in the old wet chemistry photo days, dry mounting. This was done in several ways. To paper mat board with dry mounting plastic and a heated press or with spray on adhesive. I personally would be too clumsy to use sticky sheets on say foam core. So the easiest for you might be a spray mount on foam core. Not sure what Injet you have but you will be using a lot of Black and Grey Inks! Good luck.

Of course - but presentation can influence how we see an image, and how much we like it.
Both are excellent. The double looks more open, the triple a bit more constrained. That's my rookie (amateur) eye.
The Triple Mat is the winner.

Double. The black frame overpowers the image.
To my eye, the look and impact of the triple mat (without a frame) is far superior. If I were going to display it, I would use the double mat and then frame it so it would look just like your triple. Very nice work in either presentation.
Triple mat brings out more detail. I'd go with it.

Triple, it has a more finished look to it as others have said.
