Re: [Digital BW] Re: Fragile Hahnemule prints

Hi Antonis,

I do bag them using clearbags products. The surface is much more fragile
than I have been used to. For example I cannot trim them on my Rotatrim as
the plastic grip will mark the surface. This is something new to me. I
wondered if it is because of the media.

I was just concerned for the accidental touch with a finger that would
ruin the darkest area of a print - whether during matting and framing, or
trimming. The print is not flaking off on its own.

Regards,

Ellie
