English term or phrase: lacquer thinner print
This term occurs in a textbook for Grade 12 learners on fundamentals of design. The first chapter discusses various ideation and visualisation techniques, as well as a step-by-step overview of the design process. The context for the above term is as follows:

3) Do not fall into the habit of merely cutting things out and gluing them into your composition- anyone can do that. As a design student so much more is expected of you! Why not change their appearance by manipulating them on the computer, painting, drawing or scratching into them, cutting or folding them or doing a lacquer thinner print of them.

I suspect the term has something to do with silkscreening or a similar process.
At the moment I am considering "lakafdruk", but this seems to fall short of the full meaning.

I would greatly appreciate your urgent attention to this, the project is on a short timetable, with a deadline set for tomorrow at 5 PM.

Many thanks!

glanslaagafdruk


Explanation:
Die foto word gedruk met behulp van 'n rekenaar. Nadat daarop geverf, geteken, gekrap, ens. is, word dit met 'n glanslaag geseël. Hierdie glanslaag bestaan uit verdunde deursigtige lakverf. Dit word meestal bo-op gespuit en dit dien ook as bewaring sodat die afdruk nie sal vloei as dit nat word nie.

Ek dink nie jy moet sê "verdunde glansafdruk" nie, want die lak wat bo-op gespuit word is klaar verdun in die vervaardigingsproses, en dit sou klink soos "suulemoen suurlemoentert" as jy verstaan wat ek probeer sê!

Notes to answerer
Asker: Beste Anita: Baie dankie vir jou terugvoer. Ek het toe uitgevind dat dit streng gesproke net "lacquer print" moet wees. Volgens die woordelys wat ek saam met die projek gekry het, is dit "Thinners obtained from a hardware store; used to remove the ink from a printed image when rubbed onto the back and to transfer it onto another page." Volgens dié wat weet, móét dit "lak-afdruk" wees (met die koppelteken). Ek waardeer jou insette en moeite.
