Re: Deposit on glass for framed photo

It's a known problem. It's the paper. If you use a RC paper or a paper with no porus substrate, the inks don't dry. Inkjet inks almost never dry at all, even at plain paper. It needs further drying (it is said a month) or use your heat press (touching of course) [I suppose 10 min at 140 C could do the job, try it]. Another choice is to change the paper. I don't know more.

Twice now (out of many dozens of pictures framed) I've seen a cloudy deposit
on the inside of the glass over the photo (not over rag mat). It's in a
regular pattern (one was vertical fuzzy stripes, the other like the pattern
of a brain). My best guess is it's something in the ink. Cleans off fine.

Epson 2200, Epson ink. I let them dry a few days, then dry 4 minutes under
a heat press (not touching) before mounting with dry mount. I clean the
glass meticulously with Glass Plus, and use a paper backing on the frame.
I'm in a wet area (N. California coast), but it isn't moisture, as it stays
in that same pattern for weeks. No direct sunlight. Any guesses?
