Digital BW, The Print

Moab Entrada used to be extremely sensitive to scuffing and flaking. I
believe they have improved their coating for what they sell now and a
lot of people like it. I don't use it so I can't say these days.

Now that I don't use Ultrachrome for color work I'm trying to get
totally out of the spraying arena. They are not only expensive, they
are also an environment and health concern.

There is only one situation that I use the solvent stuff anymore, that
is with designer portolios that are to be handled a lot. And in that
case I make the client do the spraying at their home if that is what
they want to do.

Canvas acrylic/laytex uv varnishes are another story and I do use them
for canvas. Not appropriate for print media in my opinion because they
kill the surface of fine art media.

What Tyler said about putting your prints in safe clear sleeves is a
good idea and that is what I do. Any prints on any media with large
areas of black are vulnerable, the more texture the more vulnerability.
