A question to those guys printing using UT2/7 on Epson Semi-Gloss (with or without 
Eboni).  What dMax are you getting pre-spraying and post-spraying?  At what point do you 
think you can't SEE (rather than measure) the difference?

Also I am entrigued as to how you guys spray the prints.  I find that it is a very fine 
balance between spraying (using Lyson Prin Guard) too lightly and "speckling" the deep 
blacks and wetting the paper too much.

Am just learning "how to spray" here.  Found that misting did not "damage" the surface, 
but I didn't know if it was enough to do any good, and found the a bit more gave 
"speckles" so finally tried more: spray soaked it basically.  That looked ok too, which 
surprised me untill I thought about the people who buy the stuff by the can and brush it 
on.  Not sure that I saw a real dmax change though and it still looked matte.

Need to try it more, am just getting started.

All this is on matte paper with 80% of the image solid black, so it really shows.
