Re: [Digital BW] What is the closest profile for Hahnemuhle Photo Rag in the Epson C80?

2002-08-23 by wangalb

Hi Karl,

I presume that with both Heavyweight Matte and Archival Matte and H. 
Photo Rag that the black will rub off if I am not planning to stick 
the print under glass or spray with the protective coating layer?

Any tips on an even spraying on the matte paper for protection?

thanks,
Alfie
