Digital BW, The Print

PremierArt spray will protect the image without altering the surface 
characteristics. I just tried it a couple of days ago on the Oriental 
paper.

Also, the UT inks work quite well on the Oriental paper, though I 
prefer the look on Epson Glossy Paper Photo Weight (aka Epson 
Professional Glossy Paper). I have made curves for the UT inks on 
glossy paper using a 1280 printer. Contact me if interested.
