That's too bad. I tried an oil-based poly and it turned the paper
transluscent. The water-based poly (Varathane) fared much better. In some
cases, a bit of yellowing isn't a bad thing though.

Just for fun I coated a print with shellac. It's the closest I've come to a
glossy-fibre type surface. Even super-blonde shellac will yellow a bit, but
the surface can be worked to achieve any type of lustre you'd want.
