I have been using LacquerMat sprays for all of the Epson papers from the 1280 with great success. I have put the prints in the window for tests with no appreciable change noted. The only paper I have difficulty with is ColorLife, which never seems to get un-sticky, even if I wait the 24 hours to dry before lacquering - which is a pain.
