Digital BW, The Print

I'm very happy now! I just coated a few prints with some Clearshield
coating I got today, and the results are relly excellent. A single coat
with a small foam roller is enough to get a nice surface, no bronzing
and deep blacks comparable to what you'd expect from good RC papers.

The risk of getting dust on the print is minimized since you only need a
single coat and the print is dry to the touch within ten minutes. This
is much better than the Golden coatings I'd tried previously. They
required four coats, and I always got far too much dust on the prints,
no matter what I did.

The texture is similar to semigloss RC papers - not pefectly smooth, but
even across the entire print.

And yes, I know that Hydrocote and a #30 Mayer rod is the preferred
approach, but neither of those are easily available in Norway, or in
Europe for that matter... 

A local supplier had the Clearshield, and I liked the test-print he sent
me, so I decided to go for that. Besides, I don't need a coating station
for this, I can do everything on the kitchentable...
