Re: [Digital BW] Coatings for Matte Prints

2005-02-15 by Louis Dina

Thanks, Paul.  

Print Shield is nice on the glossy and semigloss papers.  I guess I 
will just continue to put my good matte prints behind glass, which 
really does make a huge difference in appearance, as well as 
protection.

Thanks,

Lou
