Re: Eco Sprays (was Another Silver Rag Review)

Paul,

That is interesting because it did have a significant effect for me
with  Ultrachrome PK on a black and white print. As a matter of fact
it made the difference between enyoying the print and throwing it in
the trash.

You are right. We need non-toxic uv coatings that are easy to use. I'm
encoraged by the roll on laytex-acrylic varnishes I use for canvas.
But they don't cut it for prints.

It will get there.

John
