Digital BW, The Print

I use the Krylon UV spray quite a bit. It has a very nominal effect on measured D'max but does raise the Lab B a bit. The Lab B increase is very paper dependent since the coating acts to block UV and thus disables activation of OBAs in brightened papers, making them revert to their native whites.
I've used very heavy coats of it and/or the normal non UV spray on instrument panel artwork as a protective coating that works very well.
I have no idea what the long term prospects are for the Krylon itself as far as yellowing might go.

Regards,
Duane
