Has anyone tried the wax coating or gelatin coating for VDB prints? Does it
enhance longevity or just the surface of the print?
The colleague I mentioned did show me a matted print and pulled it out of a
Light Impressions type acid free clamshell box. Any research out there on
better methods of storing particular types of processes?
