  • what should i cover canvas prints with?

    Posted by BenRead on 9 September 2008 at 14:35

    we have an epson stylus 6800pro and are printing on to epson canvas material. however once its printed it does not seem to be water resistant! what does everyone else cover their canvases with?

    any help would be much appreciated.

    I use frogjuice, easy to put on with a nice finish, ventilation is a must as it smells nasty 👿 I tried liquid laminates but didn’t enjoy the rolling technique so tried frogjuice and is great.

    I roll and spray liquid laminate on them. I dont find a difference. When rolling though build up your layers and criss cross your strokes.
