Hi Judith,

I use Lacquer-Mat on all paper surfaces, from glossy Ilford to all of the fine art papers.  On the latter the protection is there but you cannot tell they have been lacquered.  For those of us using water-based inks, that's a real insurance policy against ruined prints from exposure to moisture, not to mention the environment in general.

I use only the spray can.  Having a spray booth in my studio helps.  For those that don't, spray in an area that is short on dust and long on ventilation.  A good chemical mask will help.

I recommend the Pearl (green can).  Some professional photo labs use and sell their products.  Lacquer-Mat offers mail-order as well.
