More to the point, there are sprays that giclee' artists use to protect
their works. Giclee' process is just a large-scale ink jet technology
applied to canvas or watercolor paper. One could certainly use one of these
spray products (I believe Bulldog is one brand name) to protect
inkjet-printed music. Cost would become a factor. (and the stuff smells
awful when first applied. OK after it's dry). I myself have thought of
testing some inkjet-and-sprayed scores/parts against the usual laserjet for
smearing, etc. ... and for cost. If one were able to protect inkjet
materials one might also take advantage of the larger format printers for
scores/parts larger than 11x17 (HP has one or two), though I don't believe
that duplexing is available. Also, what weight paper the printers would
handle is a question.

I seem to remember that there's a spray artists use to protect their work,
like watercolors. Does that work to stabilize inkjet prints as well?
