Since we are discussing coating prints with clear coating materials, I might
mention that I have been using Hydrocote polyurethane to coat Alt prints and
pigmented inkjet prints. The result of the coating is a dramatic increase in
dmax and gives an added impression of depth.
Hydocote polyurethane is a water based polyurethane and has *NO* odor or
noxious vapors to deal with.
I can't take any credit for the discovery of this material, it was discussed
for several weeks on a Yahoo discussion group for black and white digital
printing. For more details about using this coating material I'll refer you to
Paul Roark's web page detailing his use and methods.

It isn't as inexpensive as Future floor wax but it is very effective.
