Digital BW, The Print

Hi All,

In getting ready for an exhibition, I have run into a problem or two and
would appreciate some advice.

I had been printing on EEM, but because of yellowing problems I have tried
some other papers.  Ilford Smooth Pearl gives me a very lovely tonal range
using the original Piezo plug-in on a 1160 (or Woolf workflow).  However, it
rubs off easily.  I have tried the Krylon 1305 spray, but with only limited
success.  Is there any other spray that would be better in terms of the
rubbing off?  The surface is very delicate without any spray.

I have also thought that perhaps there is a spray that would slightly
increase the Dmax of EEM.  Any thoughts?

Also, I have considered buying a 1280 with the UT inks in order to use
Paul's workflow.  Do the UT inks perform better in terms of the Smooth
Pearl's tendency to rub off?

Thanks,

Alan Brown
