Re: Using Non-Swellable Paper with Dye Inks & Protective Spray

2006-10-28 by Nick H. Nugent

Hello Francis,

Yes, but you need to use the sort of coating that is sort of liquid
lamination to substantially reduce fading. I have Aqua Jetcoat II,
Liquitex, and several Golden polymer coating in my repertoire. They
all protect the prints very well giving varying surface
characteristic. You can use a Premierart printshield as a final coating.

I have stopped using swellable polymer due to its very long curing
time. Now I print HP Vivera ink on matte then coat.
