At the Southern Graphics Councils latest conferance in Tampa, both Jon
Cone and Dorthy Krause (www.dotkrause.com) gave presentaions. These two know
thier stuff and as was mentioned Jon Cone silk screens a UV protective
coating on his Iris prints. As for Dot Krause, she has explored many methods
and often uses her Epson Stylus printer to output her work. She has been
coating the images with Goldens UV protective spray (available at any art
supply store). Also they both recommended the "Liege Digital Art Paper"
availible from Paper Technologies Inc.( http://home.fia.net/~papertec/). We
have just started testing this paper on our Epson Stylus ProXL (which we are
very happy with) and frankly we're amazed, it is beautiful, now we must
learn the fine art of color correction. Also you can output to an Epson
propietary transparency which we shot onto a Fuji PhotoLitho plate with
success, but it only comes in an 8.5 x 11" size. But Ralph at PTI is to be
sending us an oversized transparency to test. That has possibilities.
There was talk also of the UltraStable process that Robert Fichter
mentioned in his response, it sounds a little involved, but then who of us is
looking for the easy way out. May be worth exploring.
Maybe Mr. Fichter could mention his source for this Basenwork coated litho
paper, is that an industry paper? Thanks in advance.
