Digital BW, The Print

I was wondering if you can, or if there is any benefit to, using this
stuff on Epson Archival Matte?  Does it increase the d-max?  All this
spraying/coating talk has gotten me a little confused, also, do your prints
last longer by spraying them?  I am not printing with Piezo either so I am
not even sure this applies to the VM inks, thanks.

Subject: [Digital BW] Epson Premium Luster & Karyon UV Resistant Clear


I just printed a Photo on Epson Premium Luster (Because I could buy it
locally) and have laid down two coast of Karyon UV Resistant Clear. It
looks  remarkably good. Does anyone know the archival qualities of this
printing method, or has any one done a fade test?
