Hey, I agree with you. I'm one of Wilhelm's most dilignet supporters
around here and get ribbed for doing it all the time. I also agree
that Lyson has been extremely sloppy when it comes to publishing
realistic fade data over the years (among other things).

There was also talk that Henry helped Premier Art develop this spray
in the beginning. Maybe. What buggs the hell out of me though is the
the not knowing if all these products are the same or if Premiere Art
has a superior formulation (or not). There is absolutely no way to
tell. I also don't know if Henry is even interested in testing other
uv sprays and laquers and would take that on with various inksets.
Epson is committed to Premier Art now and may well have even invested
in it financially. Who knows. They produce papers for them like
Ultrasmooth FA. 

In a related note, there may very well be some liquid laminates that
can be used in in low pressure spray systems that give amazing results
well beyond Premier Art and Lyson, that are only now being used with
canvas products. We just don't know. He doesn't comment about any of
that in his published statements that I'm aware of other than to say
that post coating and keep prints behind glass doubles their life at a
minimum. To me is seems a huge part of this research and Premier Art
is the only one refered to. I also wonder about thermal laminates and
how they rate. Most of the information about them is rumor at best.
