This video is a TUTORIAL on how to varnish a large Canvas print. It doesn't matter if it is a Fine art print or a photograph print, the procedure is the same as long as it is printed on canvas.

Any print on canvas should always be varnished with professional varnish to protect it from UV rays. That's how prints are kept nice and vibrant for many years to come without fading.

I have my original paintings scanned in professional studio using museum scanner, that's how I get really high quality digital images. My art is than printed on Canon iPF8400 large format printer which uses 12-ink pigment system. This machine is a beast.

For varnishing large canvas prints I use:
Large, Huge, Massive, XXL Canvas Print (obviously)
Large Foam Roller (Damp, moist)
Pole extension for Roller
Hahnemuhle Varnish (Satin) - https://bit.ly/3oquPgB
A Bucket for Varnish
