> Hi Group,
> After running MIS UT CFS on my 1280 for a while I decided to
> finally to use my custom made 26 inch Mayer Rod (20" wire wound).
> I wasted 2 test prints, since my table was a bit tilted and the
> Hydrocote Polyshield was moving to the right while applying.
> When I fixed that the prints are amazing.
> I use UT with photo black, but after coating with Satin Polyshield
> they look like good Ilford FB glossy - air dried.  I love it.
> I checked different speeds and pressures.  The only way you actually
> can have a BAD result if you drag your rod not straight.  If one end
> goes slower and than you adjust - you have a slight uneven coat.
> Otherwise, it's hard to screw it up.  I am not surprises - Mayer Rod
> is used in coat testing.
> As you noticed my rod has 20" covered with the wire.  I run my 13x19
> prints sideways (the same with the 8x10)  to minimize ink spread on
> the sides.  
> Thanks to all who helped me make up my mind.
> (BTW I bought my custom made rod at the FilterStore.com for $79.96 -
> it's not cheap, but considering really nicely applied #30 wire it's worthy
> - the standard sizes are much cheaper)
> Happy printing and coating,
> Jack
