Abstract: Articles and methods for archival raised image printing is disclosed. The process includes modifying an electronic image, printing the image on a paper substrate to form a printed substrate, applying the printed substrate onto a barrier substrate via an applicator such that the applicator creates a wall around the outer edge of the image, coating the printed substrate with a varnish composition, and drying the printed substrate in a humidity controlled environment. This configuration provides an efficient system of archival printing to print raised images on an article.
