Digital BW, The Print

> 
> I'm very happy now! I just coated a few prints with some Clearshield
> coating I got today, and the results are relly excellent. A single
> coat
> with a small foam roller is enough to get a nice surface, no bronzing
> and deep blacks comparable to what you'd expect from good RC papers.
> 
> The risk of getting dust on the print is minimized since you only need
> a
> single coat and the print is dry to the touch within ten minutes. This
> is much better than the Golden coatings I'd tried previously. They
> required four coats, and I always got far too much dust on the prints,
> no matter what I did.
> 
> The texture is similar to semigloss RC papers - not pefectly smooth,
> but
> even across the entire print.
> 
> And yes, I know that Hydrocote and a #30 Mayer rod is the preferred
> approach, but neither of those are easily available in Norway, or in
> Europe for that matter...
> 
> A local supplier had the Clearshield, and I liked the test-print he
> sent
> me, so I decided to go for that. Besides, I don't need a coating
> station
> for this, I can do everything on the kitchentable...
