Plot it Giclée Liquid Varnish – Professional Protective Coating for Inkjet Prints & Canvas
Archival Protection for Fine Art Inkjet Prints
Plot it Giclée Liquid Varnish provides a clear, durable protective coating for fine art inkjet prints and canvas. Designed as a professional alternative to film laminates, this liquid varnish enhances colour depth while shielding artwork from UV light, moisture, dust, and everyday abrasion. As a result, prints retain their vibrancy and value for years to come.
Ideal for photographers, artists, and print studios, this varnish delivers a smooth, professional finish without yellowing or cracking.
Flexible, Durable, and Canvas-Safe
Unlike rigid plastic laminates, Plot it Giclée Liquid Varnish remains flexible after drying. This flexibility allows the coating to stretch and fold naturally with canvas, preventing cracking when artwork is mounted or stretched. Consequently, it is particularly well suited to gallery-wrapped canvas prints and exhibition pieces.
In addition, the varnish increases resistance to surface damage, making prints easier to handle, transport, and display.
Colour Enhancement Without Compromise
This liquid varnish not only protects but also enhances. It deepens blacks, enriches colours, and improves overall contrast while maintaining fine detail. Available in multiple finishes, it allows you to control the final appearance of your artwork to suit its environment and presentation style.
