Digital BW, The Print

Hello,

I have a hard time with the sprays. I got some craft store universal "glaze"
that is alright but has a shine.

Can a matt glass overcome this?

I plan to experiment further, but are others using any brush or roll-on
applications??

Thank,
gar

  I like Premier Art Print Shield for glossy papers, including Crane Silver
  Rag - although that paper needs it much less than most of the others. This
  solvent-based spray offers some protection of the image from physical
  abrasion as well as UV. It also significantly reduces bronzing. The fact
  that is has been tested by Wilhelm helps also.

  One variable in the sprays is the quality of the nozzle. The PA Print
  Shield has among the best.

  I only use if for glossy papers. Like most, it reduces the dmax of matte
  papers too much. For matte I use Lascaux Fixativ.

  Some have tried water-based sprays, but the success with them seems
limited
  people who have sophisticated spraying equipment. I gave up on water-based
  sprays. Someday one will work out, and the pressure is on due to the
  pollution and danger of the solvent sprays. However, for now, I stick with
  solvent-based spray - with goggles and a respirator.

  Pardon the newbie question but I am a newbie to these products. I
  print primarily color images on an Epson 7800, and almost exclusively
  on Crane Silver Rag which I find to be extraordinary. I have seen the
  occasional post discussing a spray product that is used as final
  treatment. Could someone please explain the purpose of this process.
  Is is simply for protection of the surface, or does it actually
  enhance the image. Which of these products is suitable for the Crane
  Silver Rag paper. Much obliged.
