Digital BW, The Print

You don't NEED to.

I think people are spraying the semi-glossy and glossy paper to help 
eliminate bronzing. It also will make prints more water-resistant and 
provides a little more d-max.

But I don't even know if you can use those sprays on a matte paper. 
The limited amount of spraying I've done, it never worked on the 
matte papers.

I've never used Premier Artshield, though. Some maybe you can use 
that on matte papers.

I don't like spraying, but if I ever feel a need to, I'll go with 
Premier Artshield. PAS also extents the longevity of the print 
(according to Wilhelm Research).

I sure Paul will comment here. He uses the PAS.
