Protective Spray on Prints Worthwhile?


On my earlier ink jet prints I used the old time photo spray, which at least kept every drop of water from ruining the image. It lengthened the life of image. Would this still be a helpful thing to do with the more durable prints now available on Epson and others?

  Duane...

I use a protective spray on all my inkjet prints for two reasons. First, it does prevent any water drops from damaging the print. Second, the spray that I use (Lumijet ImageShield) also has a UV protectant. I spray on 3 to 4 very light coats, alternating the direction (North/South then East/West) to get an even coat.

Good luck!

  Where can I get this protective spray? Also, Konica makes a waterproof photo paper. Would you recommend the spray or the paper? Thank you.
