Digital BW, The Print

Paul,

Thanks for your help. You're willingness to spend the time sharing your 
expertise is truly laudable.  I'll give the C86 Mis EX inks a try on the 
semi-matte and semi-gloss papers. I do have a couple of  further questions.

First, you mention spraying the prints with a coating.  It's my 
understanding that these types of treatments have been problematic, in 
that they themselves have  caused print deterioration, despite what the 
manufacturer's have claimed. The anecdotal info that I saw concerned 
silver gelatin prints, and so this may not be a problem here. In his 
book _Post Exposure_, Ctein says that one brand caused problems while 
another did not, at least not yet. Unfortunately, he didn't specify the 
brands. While it's way too early to tell, as inkjet prints haven't been 
around that long, is the consensus that these print sprays aren't 
harmful? Have accelerated aging tests been done with these sprays? 

Second, can inkjet prints be dry mounted? I prefer to mount all of my 
display photographs with Seal's Colormount dry-mount tissue on museum 
board. The prints and backing boards are put in a press heated to 200F 
for 3 minutes. Would this be a problem for the Mis EZ inks?

Regards,
Peter De Smidt
