Coating Pt/Pd prints: results to-date

[tgtaylor]

Renaissance wax works very well on all papers for that "wet look" ...even handmade Japanese papers. I haven't found varnish necessary.

+1 on Renaissance Wax - it increases the prints DMax and gives it that shiny, wet look. Applying it with a soft cloth didn't work for me as the cloth picked up some of the prints emulsion. I switched to softly applying it with my index finger and buffing when dry. Works. The shoe buffer sounds interesting - will have to try that.
