Digital BW, The Print

Get rid of the dyes, they aren't water fast and will only lead to  
agrivation with the coatings.  You could try spraying with Krylon  
UV-resistant spray first to seal them, then use a PUR to seal from  
water...but why go to all that trouble with dyes...they are only  
temporary anyway.  A rod won't make any difference, your problem is  
that the dyes aren't water-fast to begin with. You would be much better  
off using a 2200 with the Ultrachromes...if you are trying to get water  
fastness.
