Actually, a lot of them are real laquer. They're formulated to be compatible with photo emulsions, and won't really damage the paper underneath. But they're pretty toxic and fume-y, yellow with age, and cause immense heartache if applied over anything with a trace of moisture--water or oil. Three strikes, to my mind.

Best to use the materials truly designed for oil.
