opinion on canvas giclee coating

Post by juliewalsh »

Have a customer that brought in two canvas giclees; printed on an Epson 9800 and sprayed with UV solvent based sealant.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't these be coated with a water-based sealants?

Can a water-based sealant be put over something coated with solvent based???? (the artist has added signature and title information) I believe the answer is no; however would like to hear opinion on this.

Solvent and Giclee do not go together in any way at all

it was probably that stuff or similar, it is most defiantly not water based and is fine on inkjet canvas.
