I've found Premiere Art Shield to work EXCEPTIONALLY well on both Crane Silver Rag AND Innova Fibre gloss...it is in fact the "final touch" IMHO.. Eddie Wiseman

I now print of glossy or luster inkjet papers using the Epson 7800 and have found I can eliminate gloss differential (GD) by spraying prints with Premier Art Print Shield. I guess this is not appealing to people who don't have the space for spraying, or don't want to bother with protection from the fumes, but it really does work. I think of it as the last step to making a print, analogous to the final bleaching and selenium toning steps I do after washing and drying a traditional darkroom print. I would be very surprised if Print Shield did not get rid of GD on Silver Rag or similar papers. To me the resultant GD free prints are well worth the effort of applying Print Shield.
