Digital BW, The Print

Hi,
I just thought I'd pass on a lesson I've learnt the hard way recently.

Often after a print has dried and been sitting around for a day, specs of dust or some such matter have appeared on the print. Often I have casually brushed it off lightly with the back of a finger.

However, twice recently, what I thought was a speck has actually been a tiny insect, which has then left a smear.

The latest was a print that I'd just matted.

Fortunately I'd sprayed it with Lyson Print Guard. I gave it a very light sponge with a damp cloth, which made a marginal improvement.

Any thoughts on how to restore such damage would be appreciated. I suspect the only real option is a reprint.

In future I'll be removing such matter with a blower bulb.

Richard
