Abstract
Some aspects of image safety in the use of enzymes in paper conservation are considered. The effects of alfa-amylase and protease enzymes on the binding media (watercolor, gouache, casein, egg tempera and acrylic) were investigated along with writing and printing inks. The binding media study was performed on contemporary material while the inks were of historic origin. Treatments included both aqueous and partially non-aqueous (45% 2-methoxyethanol) systems.
