Digital BW, The Print

That's a small portion of the work I do.

The rest are portriats that need the longevity. Especially the one that 
are printed on canvas.

My main interest in test at this point, is test various canvas, which 
Livick never test any as far as I know.

Also, to test other "coatings" that I haven't seen testing on.

I'm pretty convinced that if one uses Ultrachrome (or UCk3), 100% 
cotton, and a couple of coatings of a good varnish with UV light 
stabilizers, then you should have great longevity. But I need to 
satisfy MYSELF.

I feel that combo will give great longevity, no matter what 100%, acid-
free cotton you use, or what UV coating is applied.

I bet even ol' "off the shelf" Krylon UV spray will increase longrvity 
significantly.
