Prolonging print life

Hi all,

I have a dry mount album which i bought because I heard that it's bad to put
photos in plastic sleeves however this means my photos will get some exposure to
air.

Is it worth buying some sort of clear spray to "seal" the prints to prevent them
from fading or won't it help?

Thanks for any help.

I think the usuall archival preservation of prints by galleries
and museums includes air.

I think a spray seal a bad idea. Dan
