Protecting glossy prints from dust

I just received my first box of Harman FB AI Gloss and made a few test prints

with my R2400 in ABW mode.

 

Wow. I'm speechless.

 

The only problems I have with this paper are 1) it seems quite soft and

vulnerable to scratching (one of the prints came out of the printer with a

gouge/scratch on it) and 2) as soon as it's out of the printer it gets covered

with dust.

 

I live in a dusty house, and there doesn't seem to be much I can do about that.

I've previously only printed on matte papers, so the dust issue is probably

true for all glossy papers - not just Harman.

 

How can I protect my prints from dust? And if they get dust on them, what's the

safest way of getting it off?

Hi, if they are letter size, you can put them in archival safe sheet protectors.

Frame behind glass. Tape seal the back

Thanks for your replies. I'm sorry, I should have been more clear. The dust is getting on the print right as it comes out of the printer. So I'm talking about the stage before I have a chance to put it in a sleeve (I assume I need to let it dry a bit, and in my office/studio dust gets on it at this point) or in a frame behind glass or acrylic.

If your environment is that bad, I would first find another place to do any printing at all.
