I've been very happy with Semi-Matte which I  have used for an 
exhibition of 16x24 inch and 24x36 inch color prints printed on my 
Epson 7600. Also, as I indicated in a recent posting, I find that for 
B&W Photo Black/Semi-Matte produces the deeper blacks and longer tonal 
range that I cannot get with Matte Black and matte papers. The only 
problem I have is the slight bronzing of the UC inks on Semi-Matte. I'm 
eager to try the type of spray that you are trying but have no idea of 
whether I can get it here in Bangkok. Do you or anyone else have any 
idea how I can find out whether it's sold here?
