Digital BW, The Print

When I started my tests with Golden water-based acrylic I decided 
that it would be foolish to go and buy a Sharpe HVLP gun and just 
used a Preval unit. It gave good results if I diluted the varnish 
with distilled water, 2+1 (2 varnish + 1 water, as suggested by 
Golden in their literature) and added four drops of wetting agent 
per jar. Paper: Kokopelli Photo Gloss and Ilford Galerie Smooth 
Glossy; ink: Septone.

However, I also tried rolling varnish onto those papers. I found 
that this worked at 9+1 and about the same amount of wetting agent, 
so that is what I do at the moment. I was concerned that the first 
coat would smear the ink, but it didn't. For matte papers I just use 
a brush.
