PrintGuard renders an inkjet print both UV and water-resistant. The non-toxic lacquer can be applied directly onto the image and allowed to air-dry. Up to 100% increase in fade resistance can be achieved with selected ink and paper combinations. An increase in colour vibrancy and a reduction in gloss differential and bronzing can also be seen on application, especially on satin photo and fine art papers. PrintGuard Aerosol has a clear finish that will not change the visual appearance of the media it is applied to.
