Re: [Digital BW] Digest Number 2331 Photo Rag & coating

I found that Kamar varnish , about 2-3 coats gave a beautiful smooth satin 
finish on HPR when I used MIS quadtones, but with the UT7 inks, the Kamar gives 
a slight haze to the print, as well as a gritty surface, obliterating details 
in the shadows. It seems that the pairing of paper and coating must also must 
include the ink. In the long run, I'm going for no coating and frames with 
glass. On the spur of the moment I sprayed a failed print with Minwax clear 
semi-gloss polyurethane. It is gorgeous - but I wouldn't take a chance on it.
