Watched the interview with Michael and Henry Wilhelm. Thanks for re-posting these on the front page. I missed them. Lots of good info. Useful info.
Was surprised to hear that Michael doesn't spray his prints. It seems every place i've read about printing, review sites and forums, people suggest protective sprays.
I'm about to set up an epson p600. I will be printing small at home. Send out, when needed, for larger prints. My last printer, long since dead, was an epson 1270. I'm ready to be wowed by progress...
A few days ago saw some b&w and color prints on Canson bfk rives-matte paper 310gsm. Was thinking to try this for both my color work and b&w work.
They, Canson, also have some nice semi gloss papers that might work too. Saw b&w and color images on Platine Fibre Rag and also Baryta Photographique.
Would printing on these papers (matte or semi-gloss) and 'not' spraying them with anything afterward be ok. I mean what's the risk?
I kind of feel like Michael was expressing. His not wanting to inhale the nasty stuff. And why spray if not needed?
thanks
M
