spray fixative for archival prints? - 09-19-2006, 10:49 PM


For those of you who do giclee prints on fine art papers, I was wondering if you use anything to protect the prints after printing.

I print mostly on somerset velvet with pigment inks, so the spray would have to be archival quality.

any ideas?

I've been using Golden Archival Spray Varnish on B&W pigment prints done on various fine art rag prints.

Here are details on it.
