Hello Alex: I have been using Krylon UV Gloss acrylic lacquer spray. I only do a couple prints a day so these cans are more cost effective. I can say the Krylon definately helps protect against UV sunlight and seals the canvas against water. So for me I only need one product. I recently left some prints out in the Sun for a month and the area I sprayed with Krylon showed almost no fading whatsoever. Maybe 5% loss of color, if that. I was surprised as it held up just as well as an original oil painting of my wife's without any coating. Even though I use Dye inks the matte canvas/ink combo I use is totally water resistant. I can literlly scrub it after it's dried for 24 hours with no color smearing at all. Couple that with 1-3 coats of Krylon and I feel very comfortable with the product I sell. kd ------------------------------------ Website: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPDesignJet_Printers Post message: [email protected] Subscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] List owner: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo!
