It makes the glossy not so glossy, and protects the prints. I've been meaning to go to an art store and pickup the reccomended stuff, " Krylon uv-resistant clear acrylic spray or Aaron Bros" as actually reccomended by Measkete of all people. http://www.krylon.com/main/product_template.cfm?levelid=5&sub_levelid=8&productid=1818&content=product_details I should have looked it up before, looks like a store I know carries it. Canon ink isn't noted for it's lightfastness, esp aftermarket ink. Spray helps.

Would that include compatibles? > Spray helps. When you say lightfastness, what does that mean? the pictures will fade after a while? does the spray prevent photos from fading? Mary
