Re: Enuf with the gelatin already

2010-12-29 by bobtail75

Yes, the gelatin approach may/may not be the ultimate answer, but for many of us a step too far !  Here in the UK I have had good results with Lyson Printguard,from Marrutt.com I use an 1800/3MK set-up. Using Innova smooth Cotton media the surface appearance is barely changed,blacks are slightly enhanced and 'rub-off' prevented. On Ilford Gold Fibre Silk two coats gave a beautiful low gloss very like a darkroom un-glazed glossy.
Only problem:it stinks a bit. I use a face mask and extractor fan near a window. It dries quickly, but  the label warns of several safety aspects. A non toxic version would be good.
