Digital BW, The Print

Julian,

Back in the earlier and mid 70's I sprayed a bunch of my silver prints that
were mounted on black board with Kyrlon spray primarily to try and keep the
black of the mattes black. The prints have spent most of their life in boxes
but some 30 years later things seem to be fine. My mother used a lot of
Krylon on pencil and charcoal sketches and they are also doing well. Not
hard data but maybe it will give you some reassurance.
