Re: [Digital BW] Matte versus glossy dmax: a matter of physics?

Hi Clayton,

I really like the Lascaux spray ,it is really invisible and protects those delicate 
rag papers. You know all Epson prints are actually vulnerable to scraches.

I did have one client complain that their print smelled like arcylic. But, that was 
presumably because I did not let it sit overnight in the open air before placing 
it in a plastic bag. In my experience Lascaux smells a little stronger when 
sprayed than Premier Art, but nothing like the Krylon type sprays we have 
used in the past. The prints need to sit out overnight before delivering. Then I 
think you will be ok. No one has complained since I started doing this and I 
haven't noticed an after smell either. 

Use a mask with charcoal filters when using any of this stuff and also plastic 
goggles and it will all be painless.

Yes, Jerry's has great prices on the Lascaux, about $12 now I belive. It workd 
great as Paul said.

John
