Thanks Chris!  You phrasd it better than I ever could!  As is said, "It's always sumthin!!"  Applies here too, I fear.  I'm not looking for 100 years of protection, hell, at 79, 10-12 years is a lifetime to me.  In fact, maybe more than a lifetime. <g>  

I've used Premier Art Print Shield and wondered if there was anything better.  Maybe a water based shield?  And if so, which one and what has been your experience? 

I'm just an old amateur, never sold a digital print, never will.  The refridgerator is my favorite place to exibit what I print.  Or maybe a bookshelf.  Once in a long while, I may give a print away.  But since "you get what you pay for," longevity is hardly a concern there either.  And for those of you who apparently think that I'm stupid or crazy (or both), well, many would agree with you. <g>  And I'll freely admit to being old and eccentric.  

In any case, thanks for any help.  

Harry
