Digital BW, The Print

Call them for pricing. You need a #30 Mayer rod.  to coat a 13 x19  
piece of paper you will want 14" inch of wire coverage so the final rod  
length should probably be about 20 inches.  Remember that you will not  
be able to coat the entire 13 x19 sheet using a mayer rod...check the  
past posts on this...there is waste around the edges that will need to  
be trimmed.

That way you can coat along either the 13 or 19 dimension.  Don't use  
EAM...the paper is crape and too thin.


The coated prints look like air-dried silver prints...krylon sprayed RC  
prints...do not.  They are great for proofing though.  Final dmax of  
the two approaches are similar.  I use the Ilford paper in my 2200 for  
proofing and commercial prints while I do my final exhibition prints  
with rag papers and the hand coating.
