Digital BW, The Print

Eric

I sometimes use a hair dryer (has no visible effect on gloss) to 
hasten 'dry-up' if I want to do a quick densitometer reading, but 
I've done no sytematic 'research' into it. I have tried to dry-mount 
the Ultra-smooth after a Premierart coating, and ruined the print 
completely. Dry-mounting before coating was better, but still tricky. 
Heat applied that way killed the gloss, but in a very patchy way.
