Digital BW, The Print

Hi Paul,

Do you think that the Premier Art Print Shield offers enough protection to a print to 
display it without glass?  If so, how many coats of the stuff do you think are 
necessary?  

I recently completed a custom book project where I had prints on PhotoRag sprayed 
with the Print Shield and found that it was actually difficult to tell an unsprayed print 
from a sprayed print, even with 3 coats.  The sprayed print seems like it won't scuff 
quite as easily as an unsprayed print and does have some protection from moisture, 
but still seems like a fairly vulnerable surface.  I think this would be true for Luster 
also, which is very vulnerable to scuffing.  I would really like to sell these prints with 
Print Shield spray and no glass but worry about their vulnerability to physical 
damage.  Unfortunately a tougher laminate protection gives too much of a plastic 
look for my taste.  What are your thoughts/experience on this.  Thanks,

Tom Andrews
