Moab Desert Varnish UV Lacquer Spray to Protect Fine Art Inkjet Prints, 400ML Can

At first when I was looking for ways to add some extra protection to Marker images and Glicée prints, I had tried most of the other brands out there in vain. After sick of throwing $20+ on cans of aerosol protectorate that didn't do what it said it would, I was at wits end. I went searching around the internet for other small-scale printers and what products they swore by, and more often than not I'd see this come up. Originally, I balked at the idea of spending another $20 a can; I felt like I was just tricking myself with another "of-course-this-wont-ruin-your-prints-we-promise" kind of sale. But when it finally came and I was able to use it on a few different test prints, I was absolutely floored! It does not warp or bleed colors, it does not add glare or reflection to the paper's surface, and it does actually appear to have UV blocking properties (I had a little fading test I set up with a UV bulb I bought for my plants). I work mainly with smaller-size prints (Tabloid or smaller) and I am still on my first can. After being able to see the kind of results I can get with this on projects so far, I'm pretty sure MOAB has a customer for life.

This is a very professional finish. Somehow, the sheen mirrors the original print surface. This is specifically designed to protect ink jet prints but works great on conventional photographic prints as well. I am a 49 year professional photographer and I love this product.

I’ve been looking for a product to seal my fabric photos for memory quilts. This product is perfect. Sprays evenly & is priced well.

Works well, doesnt yellow, holds up well. Happy with product

Great protective spray for photographs. I use it on glossy cotton photo rag after I've signed my print. Minimal effect to the glossiness, but significant protection to the print itself. It's some strong-smelling stuff though, don't spray it somewhere that doesn't have ventilation, and don't hang around after spraying. Price is a bit too high.

I spray my art prints with this formula. It is my understanding that it is very good. It doesn’t smell bad either when I spray it. I have no complaints and have not heard a single negative Comment. It leaves a very nice finish.

This is an excellent product.

Easy to use. Far better than other similar products I have tried in the past. This is my go-to product for coating photos. Protection without the glare that you get with glass.
