Directions
1. Check for safety instructions in handling this product. Wear protective gloves.

2. Stir inkAID Clear Semi Gloss Precoat before applying.

3. Brush onto surface making a light and even coating of inkAID. Foam brushes give a smoother coat than bristle brushes.

4. Allow the first coat to dry thoroughly. If working on surfaces like paper that may warp when damp, hang them to dry while still tacky will help keep out wrinkles and warps in the surface.

5. A second coat is often needed for the best results. It is a good idea to brush in a direction perpendicular to your first coat. Clean up with soap and water.

6. When all coats have dried to the touch, press the sheets flat under a heavy board overnight. On large sheets to be fed through large format printers, you may find rolling the paper into a soft roll (6" diameter or larger) with inkAID side out, will even out bumps in paper so that it will feed easily through the printer.

7. When surface is flat it can be fed through your printer (inkAID side up!). Some experimentation may be necessary to get your settings right for optimal color, especially if you are working on a non-white surface where the inkjet colors will be mixing with the surface color. Use “semigloss” paper settings as a starting point.

8. You can fix the surface with a spray-on fixative like those by Krylon Crystal Clear. After fixing completely, you can coat it with acrylic medium for further protection.
