Just an amused note here: nobody has responded to my question. One person claimed he had "gloss differential" in his darkroom prints, but I think he was confusing that with bronzing... Bronzing occurs routinely with darkroom prints when they are excessively selenium or gold toned (ie poor craft). Obviously, the gloss in a darkroom print doesn't have to do with the silver...there can be no gloss differential with Oriental or other darkroom papers. My question was specifically about wax and bronzing (by definition that means inkjet & B&W). I have personal experience with Johnson's Paste Wax, applied to B&W photographs...it was occasionaly done by some art-oriented B&W darkroom printers twenty years ago...I did it, the prints I coated remain beautiful today, just as do the prints I didn't coat. Again, I asked about inkjet bronzing: QTR, B&W, inkjet.... canvas seems entirely OT. QTR has little relevance to canvas, a material used almost exclusively for color by "ye olde touriste gifte shoppes" or for color portraits.
