Re: [Digital BW] Spraying EAM

2002-07-19 by nick_h_nugent

I believe there is a D-max increase on glossy, and Epson heavy weight
matte even using the inexpensive Krylon spray, but for some strange
reason I just could not get any good results with the Epson Archival
Matte except for using the Photographic Lacquer spray with a slight
loss in D-max. Maybe one should not use any spray on EAM papers. They
may soak too much of the spray instead of allowing it to dry on the
surface.
