Varnishing Inkjet Prints was Re: More quadtone experiences -- Black ink

2001-08-24 by Martin Wesley

Bill,

Ah! Glad you asked. Go to the group homepage. Go to the "Files" 
section and open the folder "Coating Inkjet Prints". There you will 
find 4 long and posts describing what I have done so far. This is a 
work in progress with many things yet to be tried.

Basically I am going back to what photographers did before clay 
coated silver gelatin papers became available and varnishing was a 
common practice. I am simply applying varnish to the surface of 
PiezoBW prints with a brush. Easier said than done!
