>Have you tried the PremierArt Print Shield on Ultrasmooth (PremierArt

I've recommended spraying matte papers for protection when they are not
going to be behind glazing.  However, these types of spray do not raise the
dmax the way the thicker polyurethane coatings we were experimenting with
some months ago.  At about 3 coats the look is just as if no spray is on the
print.  Then the dynamic range tends to start to decrease from both ends --
whites get duller and the blacks less dense.  At least that has been my
experience with a number of other aerosol sprays, including Lyson Print
Guard, and I don't think PremierArt is much different.
