Re: [Digital BW] Framing Glass to hide Silver Rag Luster??

2006-05-18 by Tyler Boley

I agree with this wholeheartedly. But primarily, I don't see the need
to fix something that only looks irritating when lit in such a way
that you can't look at the image anyway. ???
More to the point, I doubt there is such a glass. Others could comment
on sprays, but I've yet to see a post here with an "this paper/spray
is it!" exclaimation.
On other papers over the years, I've played with Krylon, Lascaux
(sp?), Golden, and Print Guard. I found no particular advantage, but
mostly, just plane hated working with sprays of questionable toxicity
and environmental impact. They all smelled like they wouldn't pass the
canary test, and my dog ran away from them.
