Digital BW, The Print

Nick, this is where technique and testing comes to play. You choose your fogging process per the product you are using, as we developed techniques that ensure that the aresol "fog" was still a liquid (wet) when it fell on the print. That way the thin layer would be able to also slighly absorb and link between droplets (sounds little like inkjet doesn't it?). We did not achieve gritty prints, but very silky smoothy if you touched it. I am not a big fan of coating any glossy prints, whether silver bromide photos or glossy digitals. We did not coat glossy's in our gallery, and recommended against it. So that is just my opion and I do not want to start pro/con on coating glossy prints. You choose what works for you. Thanks.
 
Best regards,

This may indeed turn out to be an excellent way to coat a print but
I'm sure it leaves it feeling gritty to the touch. This is meant for
framing under glass so the gritty feel doesn't matter. Also in my
experience "fogging" also cuts down the reflection on a glossy print
which some may find to be a good thing.
