Hi. I'm trying to find an easy way to varnish thousands of preprinted
sheets. They were pre- printed on a special 1 mil polypropylene label
stock with a paper liner for an experiment. The sheets were printed
on epson printers and the ink washes off if it's wet. I need to
prevent the ink from washing off.

Is there a duplicator, or cheap 1 color offset press that can varnish?
What about something used. Would any print shops be able to do it? If
so what would they charge?

thanks in advance, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I know that you can varnish on a duplicator, but getting the uniformity
could be an issue. Also the varnish may react to the ink from the printer
and cause problems. Dont forget that you will have the gripper area that
wont have varnish. The best solution may be to laminate it.

perhaps instead of varnishing you could laminate those sheets.

If you decide to laminate them, make sure to test the stock to see how
it reacts to the heat of the laminating procedure. The poly face stock
might not be rated to handle it/might warp.
