Incralac application

Q. I have a client who would has several etched copper plates, the largest are 42" wide. They would like the plates cleaned, inked to show the image, then coated with a lacquer such as Incralac ⇦this on eBay or Amazon [affil links] . I am looking for an ink/lacquer system that will be compatible and that will not cause the ink to bleed once the lacquer is applied. I realize this is a fairly specific question but any help you could offer on materials or on the best way to apply the Incralac ⇦this on eBay or Amazon [affil links] (airbrush or spray gun?) would be appreciated. Thank you.

A. If you can use water based ink (solvent proof) and Incralac ⇦this on eBay or Amazon [affil links] , it is OK. I think that airbrush is better solution. Powder coat is also good possibility. Good luck!
