Re: [Digital BW] Renaissance Wax for coating prints - crosspost

2003-12-31 by Jack M Kucy

Yes, it looks great on FB photographic prints.  I tried it in digital 
prints and on
glossy paper it still is OK, but doesn't do this dramatic enhancement of 
shadows
like on FB paper.  On matt paper it SUCKS big time.
Maybe some others have more luck with it, but I prefer coating.
Happy New Year to all of you.
Jack
