Fogging is the spraying of an aresol directly over the print you want to have overcoated, not spraying the can with it's contects directly at the print. Process is to spray your aresol product parallel to the print surface about one to two feet above the print surface (depends on the aresol product formulation, spray needle size and the density of the fog you create). The effect you achive is to have the solution contents fall like a mist on your print. It should provide a very even coating and since the coating will be a very thin layer, you would allow that first application to dry ("tackless") and then apply a second coat. A digital print with either dye or pigments on a matte print has a lot of the image absorpted into the fibers, so if this process works with a very loose structure such as a charcoal print, you should not be having any issues using this process with digital images. Also, do this in an area with a lot of ventilation, and yes, with fogging you may use more of you
product, but it was our experience that you used about the same amount of product for the effect we wanted to achieve. Overkill of your coatings does not neccessarily help matters.
