Digital BW, The Print

Paul-

One thing troubles me about the soak-in spray.  I guess the analogy is paint
peeling off the side of a house.  It is caused from moisture or oily stuff
getting behind the paint. With water it just blisters off from the vapors;
with other substrates, it just refuses to stick.

Do you see this as a problem?  Is there any way to test for it?

Coming from the Cibachrome and dye-transfer days, I know what the wrong
chemical can do to surfaces.

Also, I know you are are aware, but to others that read your reports:
archival and de-acidified storage usually also mean encapsulation in Mylar
and dark storage in a controlled atmosphere.

Thanks,

Seth
