Digital BW, The Print

You will not get UV protection but that can be added after Fixativ.

I do not see any change in density.

I like Lascaux, it is easy to apply, soaks in well and leaves barely 
a trace of its existence. I have tried some others, not the ones you 
mentioned and they were disgusting, really a pain to get an even 
coat, and it was a coat that was noticeable.

The old Sennelier Paris catalog called it "the Swiss army knife of 
fixatives"
