That has been a problem with PremierArt Print Shield with others too.  In
very dry conditions the solvent is so volatile that it dries too soon.
Lascaux is less volatile and has not has these problems, but in my
experience it also is not nearly as effective as Print Shield in reducing
bronzing.

You may need to try some other fixatives.  I bought some Sennelier, but
haven't given it a test drive yet.
