Krylon ok for protecting Eboni black-only prints on Moab Kayenta?

Krylon ok for protecting Eboni black-only prints on Moab Kayenta?

2007-08-20 by paulmwhiting

I've got two types of Krylon on hand: 'Workable Fixatif' the
description on the can lists uses including Charcoal drawings. Since
Eboni is a carbon product, this sounds like a good choice. The other
Krylon is 'UV-Resistant Clear' - it claims to be glossy although I
doubt it would too glossy on this paper (haven't tried it yet, but don't
want glossy). Its label includes use on photographs, although they
probably mean conventional, non-digital photos.

I've read on this forum that the only product Epson recommends is
'Premier Art Print Shield' but applying seems like quite a production.
You either apply it with a brush or use a large spray machine - it's
not in aerosol cans yet. Plus, I'm on a deadline and can't wait for it.

So, would either of these Krylon products be ok? The prints are
beautiful,thanks to Clayton Jones for his BO writings. They will be
bound in a book, a photo on one side of the page only, with onion skin
between the pages. I mainly want to protect the prints against
fingerprints, etc.

Thanks!

Thanks very much! Apparently my information as to availability in
aersol cans was incorrect. I may order a can... but as I say, I'm in a
bit of a time crunch, do you know if these Krylon products would be ok?
Not as good perhaps, but ok? Thank you!
