Hey, looks like my drool would wipe off of that pretty easily. Would you say the coating enhances the color at all? Regular glass seems to actually dull the original colors on some of the prints I own. They were framed cheaply in off the rack frames though.

Normal glass (floatglass) does that. Museum glass is better.

(Liquid) gloss has the same contrast enhancing qualities as Diasec with acrylic glass but saturates the colors slightly, making for a very vibrant piece or artwork.

I haven't been able to compare before/after yet. I have however seen a cutout of "The Team", and it looks quite dull as a print.

Naturally I can't post a picture but when I first saw this (http://www.candb.com/en/artwork/352/...e-shard-d.html) with acryllic glass, I had to blink twice.
