Using WJ824 weink glop for coating dye based 8x10s on epson premium glossy ?

2006-06-20 by jason shanks

Hello guys , I just wanted to first say " hello " to the group. This
is my first post here and I heard about this place from a nice
gentleman on the dpreview forums . When I brought up the topic of 
using a printer to coat a print with a gloss or matt coating he
informed me that people in this group had been using that method for
years and that it indeed did work. And I will say , I'm thankful for
the experience newbie's like me can learn from ,  due to your hard work.

This brings me to my question. Will gloss coating using WJ824 on a dye
based print improve the fading ? I really hope so , because I love how
dye based inks look. That and I don't have any money for an
r800-r2400.  I have two r320's and blank refillable cartridges for
both units. I tried spraying prints with coats but I didn't like the
smells and the printer yields much more even results. These dye prints
will be for family photo albums and some for hanging. And if I can ,
selling my 8x10's on eBay. I use Epson premium glossy.

Has anyone got good , lasting results .. at least better then normal
Epson dye prints . Using glop coating ? using multiple coats of glop
is no issue for me. I have tons of the stuff.
