Coatings: Confession

2002-12-10 by Mark Tucker <mark@marktucker.com>

I kinda had a meltdown with this sprayer today. I just simply don't 
want to have to crank this thing up each and every time I make a 
print. Yes, the blacks rock. Yes, the contrast is punchy.

But with the sprayer, you MUST keep the sprayhead level with 
the ground, ie, upright vertically. If you tilt it, it sputters. But then, if 
you mess up in the least amount with the amount of coating that 
hits the print, and "overspray" it, the coating will potentially will 
begin to run down the print, which *really* looks bad. But you've 
got to suspend the print upright vertically in order for the spray to 
hit the print at the proper angle. Thus the problem.

And this is not to mention the crap in the air, and the cleanup 
factor after each session, etc.

There is change in the air. There's just GOT to be a better way.
