Digital BW, The Print

Dear DigitalBlackandWhite groups,

I am and artist photographer making exhibitions prints
with epson 9600. I have experemented with funuture
coatings on my Hahnemuhle's photo rag paper. I roal 1
to 3 times with the lack deluted with water and the
result is a very deep black similar to prints made
with feks. R1800 on glossy paper. I do not like the
plastic feeling of the glossy or semmi glossy papers
but I like the deph of tones. The Hahnemuhle print has
a feeling of a real print not a peace of plastic and
with the coating it has at least as deep tones and the
glossy surface is very beutifull a bit like Agfa
multigrade.

My qouistion is has anybady used Clearstar's
waterbased Clearshield's LL glossy coating or theire
Clearshield type C?
I like to know if this coatings makes the paper like
Hahnemuhle's photo rag paper glossy with the deep
blacks following as this lack should be arkivelasting
(see: http://www.livick.com). I know that the funuture
coatings I used will not last long before it turns
yellow.

As well does anybady know if Clearstar's waterbased
Clearshield's type C coating is as arkive lasting as
the Clearstar's waterbased Clearshield's LL glossy
coating? I understood that type C is more elastic and
therefore better to use if one stresses the print on a
painteres frame.

I would be very greatfull for any answer,

Kind regarts
