Quite a bit more work. Although, due to the increased DMAX, it 
makes it all more than worthwhile. Here are two shots from my 
new Goober Spray Booth:

I do not think there's any way to keep a large print flat enough to 
use that MayerBar on it. Unless maybe a vacuum table, but i'm 
not willing to go that far.

Ironically, I have switched papers to the Epson Velvet Somerset 
505gsm sheet weight in this 9600, and with the tweaked 
Atkinson profile for it, I am not even feeling the desire to coat 
them. Which is really a drag after spending all this money and 
time buying sprayers, etc. That 505 paper is just gorgeous.

We'll see what happens. I'm sure I'll change my mind tomorrow.
