According to EPSON the inks need at least 24 hours to
cure before they 
are "durable" on that paper...  Supposedly it is the
same coating used 
on EEM..

As a photographer who is weighing the option to sell
photographs made from digital printers in lieu of the
traditional "silver" based photographs, I consider the
quality of the output from the current inkjet printers
on the papers now available to be most worthy of
selling. They look fabulous. But I have a problem with
their durabliity. It is one thing if the photograph is
to be framed and hung on a wall somewhere. It is quite
another if the photograph is to be placed in an album
where it will be repeatedly touched. And as far as I
am concerned, papers like Epson's Velvet Art paper
should be touched. That's half of its charm. So I am
fishing to see if anyone can recommend a product such
as a fixative spray of some sort or perhaps a better
combination of ink and paper.
