Re: B&W with C86 and MIS inks - unattractive sheen - advice?

2005-01-11 by scott_now_coming

It's bronzing.

I haven't had the problem when the print's hanging on a wall. Only 
when I've held the print at some unusual angle have I noticed the 
bronzing.

Paul and others here use Premier Art Shield to coat the print and 
reduce (and in some cases, eliminate)bronzing and to protect the 
print.

I haven't used PA Shield (yet).

Maybe you should hang a print on a wall and look at it from different 
angles and see what you think. It might not be that big a deal.
