Re: Spraying Hahnemuhle photo rag

There is a very slight loss of dmax on matte media with Premier Art
though I don't consider it that big of a deal for most things.Premier
Art does have a very effective uv component though, that Lascaux does
not. Because of the fact that the Epson monochrome and Piezzotone inks
I use contain a lot more carbon content, and are generally more
permanent, I have no problem not having a uv filter on most black and
white things. It depends on the application really.

I've used both of these extensively and highly recommend them both.
Both of these sprays inhance the dmax on glossy rc media, and remove
all bronzing and gloss differential. I use the Premier Art for glossy
media. Since I don't have one of the new Epson machines with K3 yet, I
don't do glossy monochrome work yet. But next year, yes sir and the
dmax is so awsome with that inkset on glossy that nothing is necessary
except for protection against fading.

Again you need to search these archives, we've gone over this a
million times and I'm sure Paul is sick of talking about it.
