preventing ink smearing

Is there a spray or substance that you can apply over computer printed documents that prevents smearing. I'm printing out programs and the ink is kind of smearing. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Yes there is- Rebecca from Favorite Things Invites told me what it was and I don't have the paper with me. She said you spray it on the paper first then run it thru the printer. She said you can get it at Michael's. I think its a 3M product. You can email her, she's a vendor on the boards. Make sure if you go to Michaels to check the sunday paper for a coupon.

Not sure about smeering. Michaels has a spray that you can put on non-acid free ink and it makes it acid free or it traps it so the acid doens't escape. Scrapbookers use it. Its called archivial mist. Its pretty expensive to use just once, not sure how many pages you are going to use it on. I would have to refer you to my first responce, try Rebecca from Favorite Things, Michaels or a office supply store or a printer, like PIP Printing or Kincos.
