hello everyone-
At this time I am coating my Epson dye based inks with bulldog
coatings and am not having any problems with canvas but on watercolor
the coating is giving a noticable gray sheen that destroys the print. 
I am asking if there is a coating product out there for watercolor
paper that anyone can recommend. The watercolor paper I generally use
is Torchon.
I plan to move to Gen4 inks after my dye inks are used up to avoid
coatings altogether. Any input on that idea? Thanks.

I am using  a combination of matte and gloss Glamour II water based 
coatings from Breathing Color and after many months of esperimenting 
with other
products on the market ,  I am very pleased  with the results.  One 
caution, it is very important that you contact them for the very 
detailed instructions
for application and follow them exactly!  I use canned air to get rid 
of  dust etc. 

It's possible with this water based product to tailor the amount of  
gloss and thus alter the d-max  of the print.
