Hey,,
.. As far as your charcoal drawings go many have been using hairspray on them  for years .. but all that does is stop folks from smudging them.  The art sprays offer a protective coating plus UV protection along with possessing archival properties of sorts.. The coatings we use here are designed to work with ink jet inks on inkjet receptor coated media.. Regarding your question  ...to really answer it you'd have to have some test results I would think or find out from the manufacturer if the material is appropriate.. personally I wouldn't fool with it unless you knew for sure it delivered the long term results the proper coating did. If you trying to save costs .. look into purchasing the material in quarts or gallons not spray bombs.. while you may have an investment in equipment the end cost savings is huge.

  Hello

  Are fixative sprays made to protect charcoal drawings could work for mat b&w prints (Eboni carbon inks) ?

  exemple : http://www.artquid.com/materiel/fixatif-conte-a-paris-m29195.html

  These are less expensive than hanhemuhle sprays ...

  any thoughts appreciated

  thanks
