Premier Art ECO Printshield

Has anyone tried this? Do we think it could be applied by a printer without clogging? Doesn't sound like it dries very quickly and so it is likely a magnet for dust.

It's not easy to get the smooth coating, let alone do it without a dust problem and in a short period of time. The folks with HVLP sprayers who do large batches will like it a lot. I'm continuing to experiment, but so far, I'm where I was with the Hydrocote experiments of more than a year ago -- not satisfied. > Do we think it could be applied by a printer without clogging?

Yep, that is one of the problems. If it can be controlled to one's satisfaction, these coatings can make very nice, thick protective layers. So, the potential is there but ... I'm not yet.
