Cleaning surface of photographs
Whats the best way to clean the surface of glossy (and matte)
photographs. I have some I have printed myself (B&W) that have a few fingerprints I would like to remove. I did try using a tissue but found that it made some scatches on it. Also I have some old B&W Skylab photos from the 70's that have a few dirt marks on them. Again what the best way to clean them? BTW. I think I remember hearing sometime ago on TV that you can use Silver polish. Have I got that right? Chris... |

I tried to buy then from B&H, but they wouldn't ship them, since they said they'd have to be shipped Via UPS or similar, and they chose not to go that route. Others, including Adorama, where I bought mine, seemed to have no problem with shipping them via 3 day ground, UPS in their case. |

Got from big time office supplies. It works just fine. I know little of any long term degradation but as the stuff evaporates quickly I would reckon it OK. At a push I've used it on a marked lens with apparently safe results. |
