Speaking as an avid coater, my intent was never to glaze coated prints.  I
hate glass/plexiglass you name it.  What coating does is free you from
glazing.  The print is luminous and rich without the glazing...and what's
better is when someone sneezes on it...you wipe it off...when the gallery
owner eats subway that day and then picks up your portfolio...wipe it off.
Personally I just love handling print.  I want them in my hand...not just on
the wall.  That's why you coat.
