Digital BW, The Print

Hi folks, I'm new to this forum and I'm fairly new to digital black 
and white. I've been told by others that this is the place to hang
out to learn more and ask questions about digital black and white 
printing. 

Presently, I have an Epson 2200 and use Epson Enhanced
Matte Paper to print black and white prints (using matte black ink 
cartridge). Some of my prints, however, seem better suited to Glossy 
or Semi Gloss paper applications and I'm concerned about the
'bronzing effect' frequently experienced when using certain glossy 
papers. 

Can anybody recommend solutions to this problem? 
Do all gloss/semi-gloss papers cause bronzing?
Are there other papers I can use that don't cause bronzing? 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Steve

Steve,

Kirkland Glossy paper (sold by Costco) is a very nice glossy paper 
with great color gamut and Dmax, and has less bronzing than most 
glossy papers, but there is still some of it.  It is only available 
in 8.5 X 11 unfortunately.  Coating your print with PremierArt Print 
Shield usually deals with the rest.  This is a solvent based spray 
that protects and seals.  Mounting behind glass is also an option.

Louis, re: the print shield spray... when is it applied before you 
print or on the finished print?

Apply after you have printed your image, and be sure to let the image 
dry until cured - 24 hours is usually sufficient.
