Eeek! Autograph smudging!

Unread post by capmonte »

Sorry if there's a thread on this already, but how do you stop autograph smudging? I have two photos on heavy cardstock that the celeb signed in silver, and I discovered today that it's STILL rubbing off (and these were signed on Feb. 20th). Is there anything I can do to stop it from being ruined further? Right now it still looks ok.

hmmmm.....I've heard hairspray works as a fixer for the ink, but I haven't tried it.

Hairspray does work, but to be extra sure I would go into a local art shop and buy some fixative spray (like you would use over pastel paintings) - works perfectly. :)
