Released in March 2010, Timeless is a proprietary water-based, non-yellowing print varnish that has been developed to protect, preserve and enhance fine art and photographic prints produced on digital inkjet printers. Timeless was developed to be a significant upgrade to the available print varnishes on the market today.

KEY FEATURES

EASE OF USE – There is no mixing required; the product is ready to use exactly as you receive it. It is very easy to hand-roll and spray using HVLP. You can also clean up quickly and easily by simply using warm water.

EXTREMELY FAST DRYING – This product dries extremely fast, making it one of the most admired features of early users.

STRONG UV PROTECTION – Timeless is manufactured with high levels of UV inhibitors.

CLEAR FINISH – Once dry, the finish is crystal clear.

ANTI-FUNGALS – An important addition, especially for high humidity environments

INCREDIBLE HIGH GLOSS – Our gloss is extremely high and has already convinced glossy canvas users, who typically require an extremely high gloss, to switch to our Lyve Canvas and Timeless as their new and superior solution.

FINALLY, A TRUE MATTE – Imagine, an invisible finish for your canvas prints. The industry has been waiting too long for this. It was very expensive to make, but we did it. Try this on a Fine Art Paper and display your prints without glass!

COLOR ENHANCEMENT – Timeless will enhance the color of pigmented and ultrachrome inks.

SCUFF & FADE RESISTANCE – Increased resistance to scuffing and image fading. It will protect your expensive images against moisture and abrasion.

CLEAN UP – Timeless is very easy to clean up: just use warm water! No soap or chemicals required, just run your foam rollers through warm water until clean. For HVLP spray guns, simply run warm water through the gun until the spray is clear and you’re done. For both the foam rollers and HVLP spray gun, cleaning soon after you’ve finished coating will make the cleaning process quick and easy.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q. Can I use Timeless on any Canvas?
A. Timeless is meant for matte canvas. Anything with a satin or gloss coating likely won’t work with Timeless. Even with Breathing Color Crystalline no-varnish canvas that comes in satin or gloss, it would require Timeless to be sprayed on in order for it to work with it.

Q. My varnish is frozen? Will it be okay?

A. The good news is that your varnish will be fine. Follow these steps to ensure best results:

Unthaw it to room temperature for at least several hours and for several hours after getting all of it to room temp to make sure.
DO NOT SHAKE – that will create bubbles
Gently stir, much like when stirring paint but again, avoid bubbles
It will take a while to thaw; gentle stirring will help.
Warm (up to 100F) and gently agitate contents before use.
