I use it over matte paper prints, works great, can't even tell there is a varnish, very matte.

I'm a mixed media artist which means that I create layers and layers on my substrate using a verity of media, including oil pastels, ink, paper, acrylics, gel medium. I use this matte varnish on top of each layer to allow me to easily write or paint over previous layers. It has great coverage with a small amount used.

Visually, the finish is decent. However even once dry it's slightly tacky and attracts dust. (my sculptures also end up stuck to whatever they were standing on) I contacted Blick's tech support to see if I was using it wrong, or if there was anything I could do to harden the finish-- and apparently not. I was advised all acrylic finishes are sticky, but I should buy another type that wasn't as sticky. (right-step waterbased varnish) so you may just want to buy that.

I have used Liquetex matte varnish, but decided to try Blick's version for the price. Unfortunately, I used it on a floor cloth without testing it. It produced a semi-gloss or satin finish, deginitely NOT matte.
