[alt-photo] Re: Clearprint Vellum 1020 vs 1000H

[Diana Bloomfield]

Hi Jeremy,

A friend of mine (and I'd be interested as well) makes these huge  
digital prints (so printed on digital paper, not vellum or watercolor  
paper), but he doesn't want to glaze anything, and he's always on the  
lookout for something that would protect the prints, but not change  
the look, I guess.  I don't know.  I know he tried encaustic, but  
wasn't happy with that.  I've not heard of this renaissance wax, but I  
was wondering if you use it solely on vellum, and also if you use it  
mainly for the look it gives, or also as a protectant of sorts?  And  
what look does it give?

Thanks.

Diana
