[pure-silver] Re: AN Glass Effect on Sharpness

In my experience, AN spray made a real mess of things.  I had big spots all 
over my scan and I never used it again, although I know a scanner operator that 
uses it with success.  I would imagine using in an enlarger would have similar 
results.  After use, film cleaner is needed to get the AN spray off.

The AN dust I have is so fine as to be like a puff of smoke and I've never seen 
anything in the print from it.  If I had to use a glass neg carrier all the 
time I might sing a different tune and try the AN glass, but given how 
infrequently it's needed here, the AN dust works out fine.  A couple shots of 
compressed air after printing and back in the sleeve it goes.

Anti-Newton spray or talc powder is simply another way to provide a fine 
texture between the negative and the holder glass.  It is messier than 
anti-Newton glass, and if you're against any texture in the optical path 
between negative and print, then this should be just as problematic.
