[Digital BW] Re: Lyson Print Guard > Hydrocote and Liquitex

2004-03-01 by Tom Andrews

Hi Paul,

I have had a few prints sprayed with Liquitex by Infinite-editions.com in the Denver 
area.  They use a professional spray gun and spray booth.  Mixed 2/3 gloss and 1/3 
matte it cuts the ultrashininess of the 100% gloss and doesn't have the dulling effect 
of pure matte.  Other mixtures and dilutions might be even better?  I don't know 
how this would compare to the Meyer rod application in print appearance?  I didn't 
know that a UV and a non-UV version was available, nor that the UV version yellows 
the appearance of the print.  I didn't notice this on my prints, which may not be 
sprayed with the UV coating. How noticeable is this yellowing?
