Title: Protect Canon Fine Art Polished Rag from scratches
Post by: jaramd on March 16, 2017, 10:28:36 pm

I have been printing on matte paper and framing the prints for years, and had no problems with scratching the printed surface.  I also have been printing on Epson Exhibition Fiber for black and white prints with no scratching problems for the last year or so.  Recently, I have discovered how beautiful Canon Fine Art Polished Rag can render color prints, but I have found small scratches on the prints after "normal handling" while handling and framing them (24 x 36 inch prints).

I really want Canon Fine Art Polished Rag to be my "go to" paper for glossy color work, so any guidance would be appreciated concerning handling/preparing the print? 

Do sprays such as PremierArt Print Shield help to reduce scratches?

Any suggestions or thoughts would be appreciated.. thanks.. Joe
