Renaissance Wax for coating prints - crosspost

2003-12-31 by Tom Andrews

Hi,

Recently I visited a photographer who is quite successful selling very large LightJet 
prints of his work.  He frames them without glass and protects their surfaces by 
rubbing on a layer of Renaissance Wax with a cloth.  The wax appeared to me to be 
invisible once rubbed on.  I am exploring options for glassless framing and find this 
one potentially very interesting.  Has anyone else used this product, especially with 
other papers such as Epson Premium Luster?  I would guess that this wax wouldn't 
work with cotton fine art papers, but how about canvas?

Renaissance Wax is available from Light Impressions.  They say the following about 
it:    "... it also works great for black and white photo prints on fiber-based 
photographic paper.  It's acid-free, does not discolor material, and leaves a lustrous, 
moisture-proof finish..."
