Re: [Digital BW] MOAB Moenkopi papers

2008-12-09 by Andrew Darlow

Hi Ann:

Thank you for the report. Another idea would be to purchase paper at  
an art store and use InkAID to coat it yourself. The cost per page  
will be significantly lower.

I saw many samples at the Javits Center show done this way, and they  
were beautiful. Their website is http://www.inkaid1.com

Their Clear Semi Gloss Precoat is the one I'd recommend if you want  
it to look invisible.

All the best,

Andrew
