Re: [Digital BW] Matte Paper Heavyweight - Black rub off and Spraying

2002-01-26 by skyimagelab

I use astro images to sell as prints, matted prints, or framed on my 
website at http://www.skyimagelab.com. So, they're not work prints. 

Re fat fingering the prints, just a light touch will scuff them on 
Espon MPH. Almost no pressure.  However, the same print using Epson 
Photo, almost no amount of fat fingering will scuff. 

Well...perhaps I'm expecting too much of the Matte finish. I guess 
I'll go back to the "Glossy" look, although I really like the velvet 
blacks in MPH. The Photo papers seem more resistant to abuse. I as 
hoping some kind of overspray may fix it. 

I'll try Krylon Clear Coat over Lacquer Mat Red. 

Or..some kinda of profile issue...like laying down too much black.

Thanks for all the feedback. I'll post my results, if any.
