Breathing Color Timeless Satin Archival Print Varnish 1 Quart

Archival Varnish for Fine Art Prints

Breathing Color Timeless Satin is a water-based archival varnish designed to protect fine art and canvas prints from moisture, abrasion, and UV damage. It provides a non-yellowing, crystal-clear satin finish that preserves original color and detail over time. The formula includes high levels of UV inhibitors and anti-fungal elements. It also acts as a color enhancer for pigments and ultrachrome inks.

Upgrade from Standard Protective Coatings

Introduced in 2010, this proprietary solution replaces basic sprays that may yellow or require dilution before use. The jump is worth it when you need a ready-to-use varnish that combines UV protection with color enhancement in a single step. It eliminates the mixing stage required by many alternative products. The quick crystal-clear drying time also speeds up the finishing workflow significantly.

Check Substrate Compatibility and Application Method

Verify that your prints are on matte canvas or fine art paper, as the varnish is formulated specifically for those surfaces. Ensure you have access to a spray system such as HVLP equipment or a suitable roller for hand application. Confirm that a water-based, satin finish matches the desired final appearance for your artwork. The one-quart container size should suit the volume of prints you intend to protect.
