Digital BW, The Print

Sandy provided a welcome and very detailed print spraying description. Thank
you! I'd love to start coating some of my prints. However, I work at home
and am unlikely ever to invest the time and $$ necessary to set up a spray
booth to deal with the inevitable airborne toxics that accompany the
spraying and then spend the time it takes to spray and to maintain the spray
equipment.

As an alternative (and setting aside the issue of cost for the moment), what
are the odds I'd be able to find someone locally who could coat my prints
for me--someone with either a carefully controlled spray procedure or
someone with Mayer rod application experience?

Where would one begin to look for such a service?

Are there already people in business that provide specialized coating
services for small quantities of prints or other objects?

Or are there existing businesses of some sort that might expand an existing
service to include quality inkjet print coating?

I realize that the quality of service is a potential issue whenever a task
is outsourced, but that can be overcome. Have any list members experimented
with outsourcing the coating of their prints?
