I'm not looking for lacquer for preserving the prints. I just want to seal the print and make it less susceptible to marks, rubs and scratches.
and , um, hence preserving it?
If it adds a slight gloss, all the better.
and you don't want to mat it because???
You could slip it into a clear archival sleeve of some sort .
My concern is regarding chemical reactions between the coating and the
ink... which might ultimately
destroy the work or possibly even make some nasty fumes for you to
breathe.
anyway, good luck what ever you decided to do

Subject: Re: Lacquer for prints?
The Epson premium papers when printed with pigment inks are said to be archival
and should last for a century of more. I doubt that any finish will last as long
as the ink and paper will on their own. As Ann suggests, matting and framing is
probably the best protection.

recommendation for a lacquer of some kind? I've tried a matte Krylon for artwork
but it sprays unevenly, good finish, but impossible to apply correctly.

that sounds like a bad idea... how about a mat and glass? I mean, wouldn't
all those things make for bad chemical reactions???
