I may have leapt to false conclusion, extrapolating from other examples
... there is by the way a special cleaner for the glass, which is
probably worth the (relatively) small extra investment. I figure that
considering the investment in time & supplies, cost of glass is minor.
However, I didn't think the Denglas made a terrific difference on platinum
or plain monochrome (kallitype, etc.). Where it was amazing was with a
print in color(s)... and it seemed to mask the tactility of gum less than
plain glass.
