Re: [Digital BW] Desert Varnish Spray

2007-12-22 by atodzia@cox.net

Definitely stay away from the cans with the small spray nozzles (new,
according to Premier). You will ruin a lot of prints with the new, as
John calls it - "sputtery" non-reliable nozzles.  The good nozzles are
white and have a round base that hides the nozzle stem.

I returned a case of Premier Print Shield with the new nozzles and the
way they handled the whole mess left me thinking that I will stay away
from this companies products in the future.  I believe Lyson and
Desert Varnish may still be using the better nozzles.
