Digital BW, The Print

Scott,

The Fixativ listed in your first URL is the product I use.  I think Dick
Blick has as good a price as anyone.

I have not used the UV varnish.  I experimented with those water-based
acrylic suspensions for a while and decided the solvent based sprays were
the better way to go.

The Golden technician told me that the UV inhibitors in their solvent based
coating were several times more effective than those in the water-based.
Those acrylic suspensions were described as like a bunch of soft little golf
balls.  UV and other things tend to go right through the holes between them.
The solvent based coatings go on dissolved, penetrate much better, and have
a much tighter structure after the solvent evaporates.

So, if I were to experiment with UV coatings, I think I'd be more inclined
to do so with the solvent-based ones.

Where do you buy your Lascaux products?

And since I have your attention, I mays as well ask a question I've 
been think about recently:

What densitometer do you use? And what would you recommend buying on 
the "used" market?

Thanks for all your help (again!),

Scott
