FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS - Q. Do I need to coat my print? A. Ink jet media has a receiver layer on the top of the substrate that acts like a sponge. Ink jet inks are water based, and when sprayed into the receiver layer, the layer absorbs the ink. Even when an image is on the media, the receiver layer still acts like a sponge, and will absorb all moisture, fingerprint oils and atmospheric contaminants. Therefore we strongly recommend to either frame an ink jet print under glass or seal the print with PremierArt Print Shield or PremierArt Eco Print Shield. Q. What is the difference between lacquer (solvent) based and aqueous (water) based coatings? A. A simple way of visualizing the differences are the difference between oil based paint and latex based paint. Oil based paint needs paint thinner for cleanup, while latex based paint can be cleaned up with soapy water. A more comprehensive explanation is the base of a lacquer base coating is usually derived from petroleum or alcohol, while aqueous based solutions are made with water as the main ingredient. Any time you can use water as a base there are environmental advantages, as well as safety considerations. Q. Can I laminate my print? A. Lamination is designed for signage and outdoor use where it is used to protect the print from the elements. Laminated prints have a limited lifespan, usually less than 5 years. If you are making a fine art print or a photograph, then coatings are your best bet for longevity. Laminating a cotton print defeats the purpose of using a long life cotton material. It will yellow within 5 years. Q. How many applications of coating should I use? A. Usually 3 coatings give the best results.
DIRECTIONS FOR - ECO PRINT SHIELD: GLOSS, SATIN or MATTE PremierArt Eco Print Shield is environmentally friendly water based, clear non-yellowing protective coating, designed specifically for water resistant inkjet medias. Compatible with all dye & pigment inks. It will seal and protect from moisture, ozone, light resistant, humidity, atmospheric contaminants, abrasion and fingerprints. Media Preparation: Complete ink drying must be accomplished before applying coatings. Be aware even though inks feel dry the print still requires additional drying time. (Recommended drying time of 24 hours at 70F 50% relative humidity.) Application: Apply using a brush, short nap roller or sprayed using an HVLP gun. Recommended temperature is between 50F-90F degrees and humidity 50% or lower. For best results shake container several times to insure homogeneity. It is important to have adequate lighting to see where coating is has been applied. One thin coat evenly applied until coating appears translucent milky white in dark areas of print. Too much will yield an opaque white appearance in dark areas. Avoid flooding. Additional coats may be applied when completely dry and "milky appearance" has disappeared. Dry and Cure time: Proper curing is essential for coating to reach its maximum potential. Allow adequate dry time of 24 hours at 50% RH at 60F to achieve 100% cure. Clean Up: Tools may be cleaned up with warm soapy water. If coating is dry, it can be removed using lacquer thinner.
