Digital BW, The Print

Many years ago, in a galaxy far far away.

we would use Turtle Wax (same stuff as for cars) to enhance b & w
photographic prints for print competitions.

Worked great, picked up finger prints quite easily; however, they would
simple buff out.

As I remember it would add to the dmax and the gloss.

Subject: [Digital BW] Re: Renaissance Wax coating for prints

 

  

Recently there was a brief discussion about using Renaissance Wax as a
coating on prints.
After having tried it on Epson Enhanced Matte & Velvet Fine Art, all I can
say is don't bother
(at least on matte paper). I had hoped it might enhance and protect the
image, but all it did was 
dull the image and reduce its dmax. 

I hope I can find some other use for it because a 7oz can (about the size of
a yogurt container) cost
27.00.
