QTR-Quadtone RIP

Thanks Eddie,
I'll pick up a can of  PREMIERE ART SHIELD and try it. Just a light
even spray once over the print ?

I really wanted to try out one of the "newer" baryta papers and the
Ilford GFS seemed the best quality/value. I was very disappointed to
get this so called 'bronzing' effect. 

From what i understand I will get this from Any gloss or semi-gloss
paper although I haven't noticed it before. I have printed on Epson
Premium Gloss and Ilford Pearl

Thanks,
Frank

this bronzing..The spray that I use, and which is recommended by
WILHEIM is PREMIERE ART SHIELD and is a lacquer-based finish which
will not only minimize the bronzing effect, but will protect your
print from moisture , uv light, and prolong the life of your print by
a large factor, without changing the gloss levele of your print..About
$13-15/ can and available from vendors such as IT supplies, and
ATLEX.com..It can be used on any paper from MATTE to GLOSSY..
