Digital BW, The Print

I think the reference in Robert's statement was to coating by means 
other than spray. That means rod or brush, either of which may cause
the silica in the  (matte) inkjet paper to lift and produce a cloudy film 
within the (solvent-based) coating.

Any spray is likely to work as far as just putting a coating down. 
The problem is once you get past, say, 13x19 or more than a couple
of prints you get all the issues of overspray, propellants etc.
Liquid coats have their own drawbacks (smell, dust attraction etc)
but they are very efficiently applied if  they can be rolled on.
In the end, they may be better at controlling bronzing for glossy
papers with the Ultra- C or T inks by laying a substantial film
over the image.
