John, No, I did not coat the prints for the show. I think the gallery/museum crowd is going to want the traditional glazed look, so it was strictly matte under glass (acrylic, mostly). Also, I was mixing the Ultra Tone inks and switching to the 7500. So, there just was no more time to experiment. At the time I put my coating on hold, I also was not getting good, consistent 16x20 coated prints. When I find time to resume the experiments, I'll go to thicker glass and paper. However, when I was doing the experimenting, all the 16x20 prints were made on the 3000, which just does not handle thick paper well enough to bother with.
