Re: [Digital BW] Re: PrintShield/Guard spraying technique?

It's interesting, but I have to sympathize with one of the people who 
recently wrote about all of the euphemisms, and abbreviations
that get tossed around on the group.  I realize that rc, in this 
context, stands for some kind of chrome based ink print.  But in 
traditional darkroom terms, rc stands
for resin coated silver gelatin paper (plastic).  I think we need a 
glossary or something. :~)  Peter Gorwin
