Digital BW, The Print

I've found Premiere Art Shield to work EXCEPTIONALLY well on both Crane
Silver Rag AND Innova Fibre gloss...it is in fact the "final touch" IMHO..

Subject: [Digital BW] Re: Silver Rag Gloss Differential


I used to print B/W on Ilford MG FiberBase paper in the 'wet' darkroom
(still do on occasion) and like you I really dislike gloss
differential.  I now print of glossy or luster inkjet papers using the
Epson 7800 and have found I can eliminate gloss differential (GD) by
spraying prints with Premier Art Print Shield.  I guess this is not
appealing to people who don't have the space for spraying, or don't
want to bother with protection from the fumes, but it really does
work.  I think of it as the last step to making a print, analogous to
the final bleaching and selenium toning steps I do after washing and
drying a traditional darkroom print.

I would be very surprised if Print Shield did not get rid of GD on
Silver Rag or similar papers.

To me the resultant GD free prints are well worth the effort of
applying Print Shield.
