I'm sure this lacquer is solvent based. What this means is the 
solvent will soak right through the surface and your print will look 
like it's got blotches of kerosene. On matte print you need at least 
a coat of water based acrylic, then the lacquer or varnish can go on 
top without interacting with the substrate.
