Absolutely, as Julian says, the Gepe sprays seem to work very well - I have seen globbing with other brands; the Gepe's you just spray on one medium heavy coat, and allow to dry. Then follow with another heavy coat (so it looks extremely shiny wet and smooth)... then allow to dry fully. In this way, I would not (personally) feel the need to use a glossy paper to start with... but rely on a fine art matte paper to provide the base, and the spray to provide the shine and some extra protection from the elements. It's definitely pigment rub-off though on glossy papers ... not dye :) Thank you for the tips on Record Rapid :) Nij Nigel Rheam MWORDS Limited www.mwords.co.uk Digital Fine Art =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
