Digital BW, The Print

Lascaux Fixativ decreases the matte dmax the least, but it has no UV
blocking.  On glossy paper they'll usually raise the dmax.  These solvent
based sprays are a bit toxic.  

 

The water based sprays are very hard to get on smoothly.  If done right a
water-based spray can increase matte paper dmax, because it turns it into a
glossy print.  At their best, they make very good prints, but it's just not
worth the hassle.

I found today that on Velvet FA print guard reduced dmax by 3 points from
around L* 14.5 without spray to 17.5 with spray.
