Moab Desert Varnish Satisfies!

I've used the Moab Desert Varnish on digital prints for the past 2 years. Love it! Even on Glossy papers, the gloss remains after applying it to provide an extra layer of protection from scratches. It is clear. You can feel a slight difference in the feel of the surface after applying. But, again, the level of gloss is not impaired by using this spray. Roger from rXv Images, LLC.

Great product

Perfect sealant for my inkjet prints. Dries quickly so spraying multiple coats isn’t an all-day project. Fast shipping!

Great Stuff

Works like a charm. Need a well ventilated area, but prints are essentially odorless after about an hour. Takes 2 coats to get a nice smooth finish, but prints hold up much better.

It does protect and will last for years.

I use it on all my prints now. It is expensive, and apparently you pay a premium because it is a hazard to ship. But it has protected my prints which I put on foamboard or frame and I have seen these prints after years of hanging and they still look great. It is 100% invisible, but I once sprayed too much on a fresh print and the deep black area was blemished. My bad - I way over sprayed and the print may not have been dry. It has never done that since.

Moab desert

Like all their products this one is excellent. I likr that it does not hide the original texture of the paper.

Performs as advertised.

I tried this on my fine art prints after too many failures with other brands - and quite a bit of research. Pricey, but reliable.

When its a photo worth protection!

When its a photo worth protecting then its time for Desert Varnish if your like me and you prefer doing things yourself this is a product you will love it has UV protection, it has the ability to keep photos from being permanently damaged by finger prints, scratches, prevents photo from sticking to portfolio pages while being stored. It also protects against humidity (moisture) which can wreak havoc on any artwork especially photos! The folks at Adorama have Your back when it comes to photography. even the shipping was timely. Thanks, Sincerely; MusicMann...

Definitely Use Only This Product!

I put this product to the test by accidently spilling a glass of water over part of a very valuable print. I could not believe that it worked so well. I will now only use this product and I coat both sides of each print twice. You never know when an accident is going to happen and this product works exactly as stated with absolutely no bubbling or running. It is miraculous!

Works well but still scratches

Nice product. I have used more expensive brands and it does the same as those but at a cheaper cost. Definitely will purchase this again. I will add that it does a pretty good job but it still will scratch very easily.

Moab Varnish

Use it on fine art matte prints from Epson K-3 Inks. No noticeable change to prints which is exactly as other's have sadi about it. Need to use in very well ventilated place.

Very good

It seems to be very good coating spray and it does not affect anything on texture or color. You should use it with a P95~P100 respirator mask.

Good stuff

Spray lacquer is available from several vendors and while I won't say any is much better I can say this Moab is great. Check for 2 for deals around. I print ink jet fine art heavy paper and use this 3 coats with each going horizontal and vertical times 3. It's really all you need for most applications. Mount and frame! Cool part is when you are done only you know it's there. It is totally 100% invisible. There is nothing you can see.

Excellent protectant-lays down well on mat papers and semi gloss baryta paper surfaces

Excellent protectant-lays down well on mat papers and semi gloss baryta paper surfaces surprising well. Was very surprised how well it laid down on the baryta surface with no degradation to quality but rather minimized gloss differential to nothing basically. Initially it can look like you're overdoing it when you first spray it on. Once it dries it looks awesome. Very impressed.

Very effective

I would not allow any piece of work that I do out the door with out first applying a minimum of 2 coats. The protective coating has a substantial long term effect on the durability of the inks/ pigments used in regard to moisture, UV and corrosive gasses. I want my works to out live me.

Good protection, use care when applying

Seem to offer good protection. 1 can covered 12 prints on textured cotton paper approx. 25" x 20". The product softens and expands the paper when applied, then hardens and shrinks back as it cures. Use on prints that are flattened and unmounted.

Coat Your Photos

This works very well with a crystal clear coat and no lap marks. Beats Golden or any other spray-on coating that I know of. I do not know about longevity, though.

Varnish for Digital Dye Prints

Unlike many other spray varnish products I've tried, this one does not degrade the sharpness of the print if applied carefully.

The perfect finish

By Wisabcon

As advertised, Moab Desert Varnish does not affect the original paper finish - glossy stays glossy, matte stays matte. This product give a nice archival protection to help reduce minor scuffs or finger prints.

Desert Varnish greatly enhances the life of digital photos and documents providing a clear water- and UV-resistant surface. This archival-safe spray is specifically designed for water soluble prints including most dye and pigment inkjets. CFC-free aerosol proudly made in the USA.
