Glamour™ II Veneer, a proprietary canvas varnish (and/or giclee varnish) has been developed to protect, preserve and enhance fine art and photographic prints produced on digital inkjet printers. This new non yellowing, water based canvas varnish is a perfect solution for easy inkjet print finishing. Glamour™ II will enhance the colour of pigmented and ultrachrome inks on matte media and increase resistance to image fading. Additionally, it will protect your expensive images against moisture and abrasion.

Glamour™ II Veneer giclee varnish has been specifically developed as a water based product to avoid the unpleasant and hazardous fumes given off by solvent based products and is an absolutely perfect compliment to our very own Brilliance™ Canvas range. The combination of Glamour™ II Veneer with "Chromata White" Inkjet Canvas (free of optical brightener additives) delivers the most archival and colour-stable fine art reproduction available.

Uniquely, Glamour™ II Veneer also works perfectly with our Elegance™ 310g Fine Art Paper to create stunning gloss/semi-gloss archival fine art prints on 100% cotton rag paper. Ultrachrome Matte Black Ink users can now produce gloss/semi-gloss prints without bronzing issues.

In smaller production, Glamour™ II Veneer giclee varnish should be roll brush applied. Only one coat is necessary. Glamour™ II can also be brush applied, sprayed and used in roll coaters. The product has self-leveling qualities that make it virtually ideal for one-step hassle free coating and no streaks.

Glamour™ II Veneer is available in Gloss and Matte finishes. Furthermore, Gloss and Matte can be mixed together, enabling you to creatively produce your own perfect look and feel. Whether it be gloss, semi-gloss, semi-matte - the choice is completely yours.

Please Note; inkjet canvas may be susceptible to a degree of shrinkage when using a water based laminate due to the natural contraction of the fibres. This is typical of all water based laminates including Glamour II. The extent of shrinkage varies between canvas products and is usually more significant with 100% cotton canvas, which is one of the many reasons Breathing Color and many leading printmakers favor a poly/cotton inkjet canvas such as the award winning Chromata White. In most cases the degree of shrinkage can be measured and factored into the print process.
