Hello Francis, >The question I have is, if I print on EEM or any non-swellable paper >and use a protective spray on the prints, such as Preserve It, will >this substantially increase the life of the print? Thank you for any >responses. I think the answer is yes, and may be qualified by the choice of spray, but EEM is not the paper to use because it is not acid free. It actually yellows rather quickly. Best to use an acid free paper, and there are many good ones to choose from. There is an article at the link below called "The Great Paper Chase" which reviews about 26 different matte papers, with descriptions of their characteristics.
