I don't know if Nick is still active on this list but here goes. I have similar reasoning and methods for inkjet coating and have incorporated some of the techniques he mentioned on this list last august. One of those was spraying a coat of Print Shield on the print before coating with Liquitex acrylic varnish. However, I am beginning to think that the combination of Print Shield and this varnish causes yellowing. At this point I am far from convinced that this is true, but I think I have eliminated other variables and the only similiarity I can seem to find in some images I have printed that have yellowed after only a few months is this combination. I have a couple of prints that seem to have warmed up since October/November stored in a stack of archival prints in my office. A client called me the other day to say that their print (yet to be framed) had "turned yellow" I haven't seen it yet, but should get it next week. Any experience or informed speculation would be appreciated.
