Paul - 

I was referring not just to carbon prints but to K3 ink prints as well. We carry the Lascaux Fixativ as well but the price is more than the Hahnemuhle. I am using the latter myself right now with my K3 prints.

Hairspray is not archival and I would never recommend a workable fixative but I may ask Krylon about their UV spray...
