Title: Liquid Laminators
Post by: KLSmith on October 18, 2007, 10:44:23 am

Does anyone on this list have any direct experience with Liquid Laminators
for coating canvas? If so, could you please share the good, the bad and the
ugly:-)

I am looking for suggestions as to what machine works--if there is one. The
one machine that has been recommended is the Neschen Accucoat Liquid Giclee
Coater. Any thoughts on this?

TIA

Ken

Canvas' texture gives you lots of flexibility for coating. You can roll on a coat and rely on the texture to hide any inconsistencies in the coating. An HVLP spray system is a step up from that. A machine that applies the coating is another step up from that. Although I'm not familiar with the machine you mentioned I have seen good results with the Lumina Pro coating machines. FWIW, I have links and comments about this coater and some liquid laminates products in the Fine Art Printing section on my links page at [a href=\"http://www.on-sight.com/links.html]http://www.on-sight.com/links.html[/url]

Scott:

Thanks for the help.

After 3 or 4 days of asking around in numerous locations I am absolutely amazed that there is almost no direct-from-user information out there.

Guess I'll have to be the lab rat again:-)

Thanks

Ken
