I've used the matte version of this stuff (From "Michaels" craft store, via 40% coupon)  http://www.krylon.com/products/uvresistant-clear-coating/
The UV protection is an added bonus.

I'found on Pinterest a technique that consist to transfer direcly the ad on wood.
FIrst it seem that the ad is printed on wax paper
After what,  the wood is slightly moistened , and wax paper is applied on it. then pass a plastic card on the waxed paper to adhere drawing on wood.
The story don'T said if it's laser or inkjet printer.
Seems to be interesting.... I will make a try ... when I've time.
Is anybody have try this technic before ?

Don't know if what I found was the same as what you looked at, but the one that I watched, she basically made a dry transfer.  Find an image, flip it horizontally, print it on the wax paper (using a cheap HP ink jet), then burnish the image to the flat surface (she used a plastic card).  She mentioned that one could use the wax sheet off any set of labels, such as Avery.

Looks interesting.
