I came back from India with about 100 sheets of wonderful handmade papers. I've been able to print my images and they look beautiful. Still softer than regular commercially coated rag papers, but beautifully defined and artistic looking. Love this and am looking forward to continuing experiments in art making. (Posted on 12/15/13)

The best product I've found for giving the right balance of matte and gloss to rag paper surface. I've been using it for almost 10 years, coating everything from mulberry to heavyweight rag and I've never been disappointed. (Posted on 12/13/13)

Great for photographers Review by Caroline

I find that the Clear Semi-Gloss precoat is great as a base coat on Thai Unryu paper that I will then print on using my Epson 3880. It seems to give more depth to the final print. (Posted on 12/10/13)

Use of Clear Semi-Gloss with hand made paper Review by Wigwam

I have been successfully using inkaid Clear Semi-Gloss pre-coat to prepare various handmade papers for 3 years. These papers include heavyweight Lotka paper from Nepal as well as tissue thin Japanese rice paper. inkaid extends the tonal range significantly and allows me to achieve rich, velvety blacks. I print mainly in black and white and monochromatic sepia tones and use an Epson STYLUS PRO 4880 printer. I have coated both papers up to 17" x 22" . On occasion, I've also printed even larger papers using an Epson 7200. In the beginning, I called customer support for advice in application and found them to be extremely helpful, friendly and supportive. This is a fabulous product that I recommend highly. You will be buying it by the half gallon. (Posted on 12/9/13)
