QTR-Quadtone RIP

No kidding,
I would strongly suggest submitting that same images without a coating.. It's an incredible opportunity to evaluate the difference.. so please do it.. I have played with trying and to understand what a coating contributes to longitivity but I'm not a test facility.. but I've been messing with this for several years now.. I just expose pieces to raw sunlight thru the windows in my studio.. it's brutal.. Coatings make a huge difference but what I feel is different about them is that when they reach a point they just stop .. where as with say pigment inks the change is gradual.. not the case with coatings.. they need to be re-applied to continue their effect and when you do that they continue to work work and this part of it we've done it.. 
But all this stuff is a coating.. and it's build up on top of the art work.. right? We have so much yet to learn..

  I still might be worth it. We might see from even initial results what the
  trends are.
