I own an Epson 3800, and have been printing on it for a while. I typically print on Epson Exhibition Fiber, Epson Velvet Fine Art, Epson Premium Luster, or Epson Ultra Premium Presentation Paper Matte.
[a] With any of these printer/paper configurations should I be spraying prints afterwards? If so, which product(s) do you suggest and why?
What do you suggest for dry times? What is the best way to let prints dry (just sitting out on a table...covered by something...etc.)?
[c] For final presentation, I typically mount smaller prints (e.g., 5x7s) on an 8x10 piece of really nice water color paper (e.g., Arches or Winsor & Newton 140lb...whatever is on sale at the time). These papers are 100% cotton, and they are acid free. I then stack these mounts in an archival box. Should I be concerned about the printed side of these images touching these sheets of cotton rag? If so, what might you suggest I put in between them?
Thanks so much!!!
