Re: [Digital BW] Coating prints

This would imply to have a spare cartridge slot and to be able to print only with it, the subject to be printed should be something like a grey card to have an evenly spread coating.....not easy I think.
Why not just a normal pot and spread the coating with a brush or a sponge, something easy.

  Subject: [Digital BW] Coating prints



  I, like many others, have had all sorts of difficulties spraying RC paper prints. (I have tried 
  Lyson Print Guard which people tend to believe is the same thing as Print Shield.)  I really 
  don't think it works very well and is horrible on images with great expanses of deep black 
  - read mottled blacks and trapped dust.  But the recent glop dicussion begs the following:

  Could someone like MIS develop a Print Shield like coating and instead of putting it in an 
  aerosol can put it in a refillable ink cartridge?  Our printers are already capable of precise 
  spraying of ink, how about a protective coating?  Any RIP/driver could be used to "spray" 
  an already printed image.

  Thoughts?
