Re: [Digital BW] Varnished Prints

2001-11-18 by Martin Wesley

Bruce,

Quite a bit of experimentation has been done with a variety of 
coatings and varnishes on piezo prints. If you check the "Files" 
section you will find my reports on my own coating trials.

Also search this group and the Piezo group on the subject of coating 
and varnishing. A lot of information has been posted by Bob Tyson, 
Robert Morrison and Mark Romine. Robert is working on bringing a 
commercial inkjet varnish to market.

If you give varnishing a try, let us know how it goes.
