The article refers to prints made from a digital camera but doesn't
specify what type of print. Dye-sublimation, inkjet, spray jet, thermal
transfer, etc. Each method produces images on paper differently and, I
imagine, also degrades at different rates under certain circumstances. 

This seems to be a rather informal article similar to many I've read in
my local newspaper. At least I hope none of us considers storing an
original print on a sun-saturated coffee table to be an archival
solution :)  If the acrylic fixative is sprayed on a *display copy* made
from someone's desktop printer (i.e., not the original) then I don't see
the harm.

	"Shortly after receiving my first digital camera, I went to a
seminar
	workshop on how to use my new Olympus Camera. At that workshop,
I
	learned many unusual new techniques, but the one that stuck by
me has
	been the one on archiving my photos."
