Re: [Digital BW] Coating prints

2004-12-17 by Chris Hargens

I don't see why one couldn't do this by just filling one of MIS's 
2200 virgin PK empties with glop and then switching over to use on 
multiple prints -- let's say 20, for example -- that have been 
carefully stored for coating. Doing a large batch at one time would 
offset the cost of switching cartridges, purging, etc. I'll probably 
give this a try if Print Shield turns out to be satisfactory. Of 
course, the problem of protecting the coated prints still remains.
