Re: Growing up...better printing

Tim,

Congrats on successfully selling your prints. Do you have a link to a 
website where they are shown? I'd like to see them.

In my experience (not too great by any means) Premium Luster does exhibit 
less bronzing than Premium Glossy. But it is still there to some degree.

I've taken to spraying my prints after letting them dry for 48hrs. I use 
Premiere Art PrintShield on my glossies, and Lascaux Fixative on my matte 
prints. PrintShield definitely reduces the amount of bronzing on the glossy 
papers, and adds a level of protection between the ink and the outside 
world. If you use these sprays, be mindful of their noxiousness (is that a 
word?). When I spray my prints I hang them up in my garage, leaving the 
garage door open. Then I spray while holding my breath and immediately go 
inside. After 3-5 min I go back out and repeat the process 1 or 2 more 
times.

Derek
