Peter;

Yes, that is an advantage I didn't mention- with a little care and 
refinement in positioning tecnique, you could get as accurate as 
your printer paper positioning allows. I'd like to think you could 
coat only the image area and not the white paper, but the printer 
mechanics would make that inconsistent. But the taping would be on 
the inside of the screen not on the print, which means there's no 
risk of tearing the paper peeling up masking tape.
