Further, just handling the printed canvas when stretching causes smuging, especially with dark or black ink areas. Additionally, a coating of varnish makes the print "pop" with contrast, vibrancy, and sheen.So, I tried of the "leading brands" of varnish on my fine art photographic ink jet cavas wraps (printed with OEM pigment inks on my Canon Pro-4100). Though sometimes usable, these two brands of varnish did not spray well. I would end up getting runs quite easily or these strange little raised white bumps would appear in places on the surface while curing/drying. Picking the tiny bumps off with my fingernail would then leave a small dot with no bump, but also, now no ink! Aghhhh! So, I swithched to using a foam roller, with mixed results. I find it very hard, even with a lot of experience and exacting technique, to not leave some roller marks.Then... I heard about and read some reviews for Breathing Color Timeless Varnish and thought I'd give their satin finish product a try. Though it is still hard for me to get perfect results with a foam roller, the product does seem to have excellent self-leveling properties that help with that a lot. And foamy air bubbles are not as present with Timeless as with the other two products when applying with a foam roller. THEN... I thought I'd give spraying another try with the Timeless Varnish and wow! I never plan to use a roller again! This stuff is fantastic!Applying two or three light coats, moving quickly with my inexpensive HVLP sprayer, yields a superb result for me. The finish is durable, clear, neutral, stretcable, and professional looking. My only issue is not a problem with the product but is due probably to my cheap sprayer and my not paying attention. I can get some small glops of varnish if the sprayer sputters when it begins to run out of product. However, if I notice these spots immediately, while still wet, I can dab these with my fingertip to remove. Then, because of the product's superb self-leveling properties, any smudge left from my finger usually just disappears. If it doesn't disappear completely, another coat of varnish will mitigate that. Considering that the other two products I tried cost about twice as much as Timeless Varnish by Breathing Color, I am very thrilled to have found this product! I'm hooked!-Kenneth Keifer Photography ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for Photo Canvas Pictures. *by T***A on July 10, 2021* We have a lot of photo canvas prints on our walls---often receiving sunlight and this coating seems to protect them from the UV light.Have noticed a lot less fading on the ones we treated. Super easy to use. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Quality! *by T***Y on September 7, 2025* I bought this product to help my painting last for years. Easy application, works well for all products, it’s not to thick, and great quality. ## Frequently Bought Together - Breathing Color Timeless Archival Print Varnish - 1 Quart, Satin Finish, Premium Canvas Coating, Water Based UV Protection, 100+ Years Certified Archival - Timeless Roller Kit Helps You Perfectly Protect Your Prints Featuring A Fine High-Density Foam Roller Designed For a Smooth, Clear Finish. 9 inches Wide For Maximum Coverage - Breathing Color Timeless Archival Print Varnish - 1 Gallon Matte Finish - Premium Water-Based Canvas Coating with Fade Protection and No Glare Finish --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/65432857-timeless-archival-print-varnish-1-quart-satin-finish-premium-canvas](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/65432857-timeless-archival-print-varnish-1-quart-satin-finish-premium-canvas) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
