Is there any spray or coating that can remove the bronzing that occurs when
printing with Epson 2200 on some pearl or glossy papers?

Just how much does Print Shield hide the bronzing? I came across this 
website --
http://www.artphoto.co.nz/varnish/links.htm
that has a list of products for coating inkjet prints, including 
pigmented inks. In particular the Breathing Color product seems 
attractive because it is water-based and doesn't give off any 
hazardous fumes. I'm not sure, however, if it is effective in 
reducing bronzing on glossy or pearl papers.

At some point I'll probably try the Breathing Color coating -- 
especially if they offer a sampler size. Right now I'm going to go 
with the Print Shield and try it on InkJetArt's Micro Ceramic Gloss 
Plus. I may also give MIS' GLOP a try at some point. Thanks for the 
information.
