Lyson Print GuardTM Archival Top-coat Spray
Maximum Fade-resistance for Inkjet Papers

Print Guard is a low odor aerosol spray that protects your prints from moisture and fingerprints. It improves wet fastness and blocks harmful image-fading ultra violet rays. It is fast drying and non-yellowing. Applying three light coats does little to alter the appearance of the original media characteristics.

Print GuardTM Light Stability Characteristics:
  • Testing of Print Guard has been done using images made with Iris ID inks printed on Iris glossy media. The results of fade resistance improvements are follows:
  • The fade resistances of all colors are improved by a coating of Print Guard.
  • Cyan is improved by 5%
  • Magenta is improved by 400%. (Since the Epson magenta ink is the most fugitive of the Epson OEM inks, this should greatly stabilize the Epson 4-color inkset and the Epson 6-color inkset which includes an even more fugitive light magenta.)
  • Yellow is improved by 10%
  • Black is improved by 39%
  • As a set, Print Guard improved stability by 38%
  • Print Guard coated prints will tend to shift towards red and cyan over time---actually making the visible fade less obvious than without coating (when the images will fade green to cyan).
Print GuardTM offers Safety!
  • No florinated hydrocarbons as propellant. No problems with ozone depletion.
  • Isopropanol (rubbing alcohol) used as the solvent (no dangerous organic solvents).
  • Non-yellowing, light stable resin--the same polymeric base used in automotive windshield laminates.

Print GuardTM Application Features and Tips:
  • The 14 ounce (400ml) aerosol cans have a capacity of up to 60 8.5x11 inch prints with the recommended 3 light coat application.
  • Fine Mist spray nozzle promotes even coverage and rapid drying.
  • Make sure the ink in the printed images is fully dry before any attempt is made to apply a coating of Print Guard.
  • Print Guard works best by starting with a light application as a coat. Then apply an additional series of 2-3 light coats instead of one heavy coating.
  • Print Guard is ideal for glossy, transparency, coated canvas or semi-glossy media.
  • Print Guard can be used on absorbent (watercolor papers, etc.) media, but requires technique development for uniformity in multiple very light coatings.
  • Print Guard is fast drying. Depending on the coating weight. Print Guard will dry in 1 to 5 minutes. Allow to air dry - do not attempt to accelerate drying time by artificial means.
  • In addition to providing additional fade resistance for printed images, Print Guard will provide a meaningful amount of protection against incidental moisture contact. No claim is made to provide complete moisture proofing, but properly applied; Print Guard will add a great deal of security during normal print handling.
