    Hi, thanks for the video...just starting out with printing my own photographs. There was going to be a link in the comments for a resource '27:31 Is there a resource explaining different Moab papers and recommended uses?' - I have watched the KZread video, but there was meant to be a downloadable resource but I can't see it anywhere :)

    Thanks for this well presented video. Regarding Matte Black vs Photo Black papers, since photo black papers reflect more light, shouldn't their black look lighter? My experience is darker black with matte papers because they have less light reflection. On the other hand, matte papers have less punch.

  • @MoabPaper
    @MoabPaper25 күн бұрын

    Photo black papers will appear to have a richer/darker black, as the light reflected has less scatter than a matte black paper. This is also why the MK papers can appear to have a little less 'punch'.

    Spraying should be a physical dance, even with a small target / object. Holding your wrist to ensure a consistent angle vis-a-vis the item to be sprayed is fine, but one's entire body should move up and down, left and right, during the spraying. Watch how master car painters move. You should be employing legs and torso to keep the same physical attitude / orientation to the spraying target. Again, it's like a dance among the sprayer, the target, and one's body. Thx for the video.

    does it prevent color fading??

  • @MoabPaper

    On matte paper Desert Varnish does help prevent fading due to UV degradation.

  • @ddsdss256
    @ddsdss2564 ай бұрын

    Thanks. My first question is how important is it to use spray, given the fact (well, claim) that supposedly archival-quality, pigment-based inks on archival quality paper should last for 200-400 years? My second question is how important is an additional layer of (cehimcal) protection if the print is framed with glass or plexi? My third question is, how much long-term testing has been done to determine the effectiveness of spray varnish over the years and are there any negatives associated with its use (other than of course the toxicity)?

  • @MoabPaper
    @MoabPaper25 күн бұрын

    1- The desert varnish and preservation coatings generally are used to protect against UV, scratches and scuffs, and to some extent humidity changes. Longevity numbers for inks assume dark storage or archival conditions for maximum permanence. 2- If the print is framed with archival materials and UV-filtering conservation or museum glass, there is no need to add a coating to the print. If you're using non-UV filtering glass, or displaying without glazing, then coating the print is an important step. 3- We do not have longevity testing comparisons available for prints with and without the Desert Varnish.

    Thanks Les. Im considering using larger flat sheets of Entrada for an upcoming show. I noticed you were using a Canon printer, similar to my 4100. Is there any way to completely eliminate the printer from incorporating blue and red ink in the B&W print mode? Im trying to force the printer to use just black and gray ink to print my B&W work.

  • @MoabPaper
    @MoabPaperАй бұрын

    With the Canon software/driver there is no way to limit printing to only the monochrome inks. In the B&W Photo mode the printer uses color inks to extend the tonal range.

  • @mje1625
    @mje16256 ай бұрын

    Before and after would have been helpful. Also, explain what you mean when you say the spray can "affect" a glossy or semi-glossy print. Does it give the print a matte finish? Does it dull the finish? Other?

  • @MoabPaper
    @MoabPaperАй бұрын

    We don't recommend using the Desert Varnish on a glossy, semigloss, or satin paper. It is not designed for those coatings, and will not disappear into the surface as it does on matte papers.

    I'm old-fashioned, but I still prefer Photoshop, as I have a choice. Especially in the rendering intents, where I feel it is vital to try them all to see which works with which image. I also like an actual copy, not a virtual copy that can be lost by the matrix.

    This is the most understandable and useful explanation of soft proofing I've found, after viewing many. I especially appreciate Jim's assurances that letting a color or colors remain a bit out of gamut is "not horrible." Not at all! In my final prints, some colors that are a bit out of gamut has not mattered. Thank you!

    We recommend letting the varnish dry overnight if possible, but a few hours at standard temperature and humidity (65-75 degrees F, 35-60% humidity) should be sufficient.

  • @MoabPaper

    The higher the ambient humidity the longer it will take each coat of varnish to dry. If you spray it outside, and then bring it indoors to dry (assuming your home has a lower humidity) then the average times should apply. We don't have time guidelines for application in humid conditions.

    Software should override any settings made on the printer. With wide format (24" and larger) printers it is best to set the media setting both on the printer & in software.

    Thank you Moab. Sorry I missed the live presentation. For anybody wondering about the Monitor Color Gamut Warning in the Soft Proofing View/Mode, I usually turn mine off. Especially if there are to many warnings. If there is a good reason to leave it on, please comment. I leave the Destination (Canon Pro100 printer in my case) Gamut Warning on which seems to make more sense to me because that is where the file/image will end up. I also say forget the Apple/Mac monitor. Although they do alright, you are better off getting a monitor made for photographers like a BenQ. (that can be calibrated internally with a 100% sRGB & 100% Adobe RGB=on my purchase wish list). I might actually go 2k over a 4k monitor. Your print won't be a 4k look most likely. Just my opinion. Question. He mentioned books or online for more printing info closer to the beginning of the vid. Can he recommend any really good books on printing to keep on the shelf for learning & reference.
