Fading pictures

[Gary]

Is there any type of spray or coating that will prevent Canon paper from
turning yellow from light/air? I asked the local camera shop and they told
me to try hair spray. There was some giggling and laughter associated with
their answer so I have not tried it yet.

pencil drawing against smudges I doubt that it will protect against UV.

Trev,
Thank you for the information. Is there a spray/coating that is clear and
will block UV that you know of?

Never used one but seen some advertised, but on this side of the pond.
suppliers of printing paper may be the best bet

The only test I ever made (about 2 years ago)
Same picture side by side on a refrigerator door
that received partial sunlight each day.
Uncoated started showing noticeable color changes & fading within 6 months
The coated picture still looked good after a year but compared to an
original
from an album you could see some fading and slight color changes

Any coating could increase the lifetime of a printing at most twice (mostly
1,5 times). Use instead pigmented inks, they last 20 times more. A
conventional laquer spray could do for coating (acrylic are better).
