Glamour 2 Gicleé Veneer coating for prints

Glamour™ 2 has been developed to protect, preserve and enhance fine art and photographic prints produced on digital inkjet printers. This new non-yellowing, water based varnish is a perfect solution for easy inkjet print finishing. Glamour™ 2 will enhance the color of pigmented and ultrachrome inks on matte media and increase resistance to image fading. Additionally, it will protect your expensive images against moisture and abrasion.

Glamour™ 2 has been specifically developed as a water based product to avoid the unpleasant and hazardous fumes given off by solvent based products. It is also easy to clean-up, using just running water. Glamour™ 2 is a perfect compliment to all the "water-resistant" canvas media we sell:

• Illuminata Artist Canvas
• PremierArt Water Resistant Canvas for Epson
• InkjetART Fast-Dry Glossy Canvas
• InkjetART Fast-Dry Matte Canvas

Glamour™ 2 also works well with many of our matte surface fine art inkjet papers to create stunning gloss/semi-gloss fine art prints (We suggest you test first). Ultrachrome Matte Black Ink users can now produce gloss/semi-gloss prints with richer, more saturated color, and even deeper blacks.

Artists can also paint on top of the applied coating. Glamour™ 2 has been known to work with various artist paints for embellishment, however it is always recommended that you perform a test with a small scrap of coated canvas to avoid a negative reaction.

Glamour™ 2 is available in Gloss and Matte finishes. The Gloss and Matte can be mixed together, enabling you to creatively produce your own perfect look and feel. Whether it be gloss, semi-gloss, semi-matte -- the choice is completely yours. F.Y.I. Bair Art Editions uses 2-3 times as much Gloss as they do the Matte. They've found that most of their customers like a semi-gloss look, and it only takes about 1-part matte to 2-parts gloss to create the semi-gloss look they like. They also use the Illuminata Artist Canvas (a matte finish) for the majority of their canvas jobs, because with the Glamour™ 2 coating, they can obtain ANY final finish they want with ONE canvas!.

In smaller production, Glamour™ 2 should be roll/brush applied. Only one coat is necessary. Glamour™ 2 can also be brush applied, sprayed, and used in roll coaters. The product has self-leveling qualities that make it virtually ideal for one-step hassle free coating and no streaks. Glamour™ 2 can be rolled on with a dense foam roller (30% dilution with water is typical), sprayed on with an HVLP gun (50% dilution with water), or used with a roll coating machine (50% dilution).
