Digital BW, The Print

How about a razor blade and a bit of spotting followed by a new coat of your
spray. Or you might be able to just touch the area with a bit of the spray
if you have a good 000 or 0000 brush.

Subject: [Digital BW] Beware insects on prints!

 

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
