Premier Imaging Products ECO Print Shield Sample Kit- 3 Aqueous Coatings + Roller Kit 8 oz. Gloss, 4 oz. Satin, and 4 oz. Matte
PremierArt’s Eco Print Shield is water based protective coating that is best for canvas. This non hazardous coating will waterproof the canvas, protect the print from light, ozone, and VOC’s, is non-yellowing, and best of all, will not crack when stretched. Stretching canvas for the popular gallery wraps puts tremendous strain on the canvas and results in cracking on the edges. Eco Print Shield cross-links in the inkjet receiver layer, creating a pliable bond that resists cracking.

The Red Wine Test
Premier Imaging wanted to test just how durable the Eco Print Shield coating was with canvas. Thinking of one of the toughest stains to get out of anything, they looked happily to red wine. They decided to spill a hearty Cabernet Sauvignon on a half coated, and half uncoated canvas.
Twenty-four hours later, as you can see in Photo 1, the wine on the Eco Print Shield coated side stayed on top of the coating. As expected, the wine on the uncoated half was absorbed into the ink jet receiver layer.
Taking a sponge, the Premier Imaging folks wiped both stains. The side coated with Eco print shield easily wiped clean, while the uncoated side had no noticeable effect (Photo 2). The stain is permanent. In fact, the wine stain was so strong, it stained the sponge!
