Museo 325, K=2.16

2002-10-19 by Mark Tucker

I got my prints back from Robert Morrison. I've decided that I like 
them; I didn't know at first; they almost seemed "too" good at first, 
if that's possible. He sent me two prints - one with one coat, and 
a second with two coats. Both are nice but I prefer one coat due 
to less glossy. The black went from 1.48 to 2.16 with one coat. 
Blacks are rich. At first glance, the print almost looks like an 
air-dried glossy fiber print, but with the benefit of being heavier in 
your hand. The coating dries clear; no yellow tint at all. Two coats 
gives maybe a more uniform coating look, and also takes the 
black up to 2.20.

I plan to proceed with Robert's system. I'll try to order a 24" Mayer 
Rod, and try to get some of his coating, once it becomes 
available. We'll see if I can master the application of it properly.
