Re: [Digital BW] spraying glossy prints

2004-09-12 by Douglas Meeuwsen

Hmmm.... I like ilford smooth pearl a lot with the UT2 inks, 
...BUT......I absolutely have to spray them or they just have a super 
exagerated bronzing effect. Like if you hold to the light a certain 
way, it looks like you sprinkled the print with glitter. The print 
shield spray takes csare of it, and you cant tell it's on there. Then 
the print looks and feels great. Just two quick coats back to back 
about 10 seconds apart is what do. Rotate the print 90 degrees for the 
second coat.......DM
