A system and a method to protect an image on a substrate. The method includes applying a coating to the surface of a substrate having an unspread ink image thereon, wherein the image is formed by droplets of solid ink, and wherein the coating interacts with the ink. Moreover, the method includes spreading the coated ink on the surface of the substrate, wherein the ink and the coating interact during the spreading process and wherein the spread ink on the surface of the substrate forms the continuous image.
