As usual, I'm a little confused - about all this coating stuff.
Do I have it right, in the following ?

The resin-coated (RC) papers like Epson Semi-Gloss, ISP, etc, have
the best DMax, but show bronzing.  So coating with something like
this Kamar Varnish almost eliminates the bronzing.  I've also heard
of using Lyson PrintGuard; how does it compare to the Kamar ?
Soon however, Oriental will come out with a fiber-based paper that
eliminates the need for the varnish.

But Paul Roark's method of coating matte papers like Epson Enhanced
Matte using PUR and a wire-wound rod is a totally different approach ?
The idea is to raise the Dmax and protect the more delicate ink layer
of a matte paper.  But Kamar and PrintGuard aren't really best for
this approach.

Do I have this kinda right ?

Thanks, John
