Joe, I found that with my ink jet printer, the thing looked very washed out on regular computer paper. Probably has to do with how much I enlarged the image. I went as far as possible without it getting to blurry or pixilated. At the time, I found that the photo paper worked better. My intention was to try spraying Dullcoat or Krylon Matte Finish over it. Never got that far as I didn't want to ruin it by having the ink run. If you have any ideas, I'm game.

My question to you is why are you using photo paper? Doesn't that have a gloss to it? I may give your idea a try but use a regular heaver weight paper (maybe try to print on a 8.5X14 paper), cut out the sky out, glue it to some thin foam board for a little relief and glue that to the painted background. Thanks for the post you sparked a lot of ideas....
