Years ago, when Polaroid came out with the camera that took "instant" pictures, the film came with a sponge like tool that spread a fixitive on the print.
Is there anything comparable for pictures printed on Ink Jet printers?I have never heard of anything that would serve that purpose.
I am looking for something, (maybe a spray) that will make the picture more permanent. Anybody know of something that will do this?
I remember the Polaroid Swinger.
I don't have a name off hand, but there are special photo papers you can use that are fade resistant. I've never used any, so I'm not sure how well they work.
I print a lot of pictures on magnetic paper to give as gifts. Over a period of time the pictures begin to fade. I began covering them with clear contact paper and it works really well.
Phoenix, I know that artists use a spray fixative on charcoal and pencil drawings. (Mom was an art teacher.) You would be able to buy it at an art supply store.
printing on fabric
there is a product called bubble jet set 2000 you soak fabrics in it for 5 minutes let it dry. iron it on freezer paper that is cut the same size as printer paper and print on it. way cheaper than iron on or anything else. one bottle makes 50 to 60 sheets washable
