Anti-Scuff Protective Coating -- Can it be applied to Finish |
|
|
If I sent my current project -- dust jackets for a hardcover book -- to
a print shop they would cover the finished work with an acquous or
polyprop coating (gloss, satin, matte).
How can I accomplish the same thing with prints run off an inkjet
printer (or even a laser)? Is there a handy spray or similar system
that would let me coat the finished print so it would have the same feel
and durability as a bookstore book cover?
I am doing some research, but so far have not found anything.
Thanks.

YES. YOU WILL FIND IT AT ART STORES AND SOME FRAMER SHOPS. YOU CAN
ALSO GET STUFF LIKE THAT AT HOBBY SHOPS. YOU NEED TO PUT IT ON EVENLY.
IT SEEMS TO HAVE A DULLING EFFECT. SPRAYED PHOTOS SEE TO LOOK LIKE THE
SATIN FINNISH THAT THE QUICK PHOTO MACHINES USED TO TURN OUT. |

Yeah. Hobby shops and art shops have it.
You'll want a spray booth, though. |

Hi Richard,
I have been protecting laser and inkjet prints from water
and scuffing for years using a can of stuff I found at the
local art supply shop and later found at the local hardware
store for much less cash.
I use 'Krylon low odour clear matte' (clear latex enamel)
312g spray can. About C$6.
A bit of heat (hairdryer) speeds up the drying.
I don't know if the finish is exactly what you're looking
for, but it certainly protects well. |

Strangely enough, what Measekite says here is true (unlike most of what
he posts). Clear lacquer spray paint (such as Krylon, from hardware
store, work well also). He can't be wrong all the time, try as he does.

Big deal! This is common knowledge amongst professionals and photo
hobbyists.
You can find these aerosol sprays in any number of places.

Might try shelac.. nice clear shelac is quick drying and somewhat
flexable. I tried a spar urathane and it tended to discolor in spots..
diamond coat wanted to orangepeal too easily. |

I've used various clear acrylic sprays and found they work well. However
they may not work well on something that needs to be flexed a lot like a bok
cover. |

Shellac
No this is not the stuff you should use as its a furniture type coating,
among other things about it the solvent is alcohol, which is water ?????
(mixes with water)

Shellac, if it is real, is actually an organic coating, made from a
resinous deposit (lac) left by a scale insect on trees. It is, as
stated, alcohol soluble, and is not considered archival. It yellows
over time, and tends to absorb water. It is not a good choice for
coating prints.
