Digital BW, The Print

Hello All,

What are the advantages of waxing prints with Renaissance Wax?

My understanding is R. Wax does not yellow, is that correct?

Will it help prevent flaking?

Does it affect the appearance, such as increasing Dmax?

Does the wax form a hard surface or stay a bit soft?  If it does
harden, how much time is required to fully harden?

Will it make prints more prone to catch dust and/or show fingerprints
while not framed?

If a print has some dust on it can it still be blown off with a puff
of air?

Will it make prints harder to slide into sleeves?

Will  a sleeve stick to the waxed surface and cause problems or be
hard to remove?

The clear sleeves that InkJet Goodies sells has a sticky flap for
sealing the sleeve.  If it contacts the print surface it can remove
ink.  Will the wax protect against that?

Does it offer any UV protection?

Should waxing be a routine procedure for carbon ink prints?

Is it possible to damage a print in the process of waxing it?

Anything else to consider?

Regards,
Clayton
