I'm not experienced in this area, but I think it's going to depend on the paper/canvas/or...you're concerned with. Also if it's been prepped and primed first. Here's what I've found: You can use a clear sealer such as resin or the "Ranger's Gloss Multi-Medium" so the the colors do not fade or wipe off for Yupo paper and alike.

Or Liquitex-you can look and see if there's one that fits your needs, they have many https://www.google.com/search?q=liquitex&safe=strict&biw=1680&bih=944&source=univ&tbm=shop&tbo=u&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjll7nYjvHQAhXhwFQKHVgeA0YQsxgIGg&bav=on.2,or.&bvm=bv.141320020,d.eWE&ion=1&ech=1&psi=BuJPWNNoyteYAbfFtLgI.1481630215280.5&ei=DeJPWKXdLeGB0wLYvIywBA&emsg=NCSR&noj=1#spd=1506419570077169307
or for canvas Krylon Kamar varnish or Krylon 3x clear glaze and UV protection spray http://www.krylon.com/products/kamar-varnish/
There are videos on Youtube that might be helpful. Brittany Bolding is a good person to follow, she's really awesome with alcohol painting https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYKKniVvm6KxPHbYORtFlBA
Workable Fixative Spray.
I want to second the fixative spray. What paper are you working on?
Hi I took an alcohol ink course from an alcohol ink artist and she suggested for work on ceramic tiles to use Krylon Kamar was best. Hope this helps.
HI Helen: I'm glad I could be of some help to you. I have tried it on ceramic tile and it seems to work fine but be careful as it is not food safe. It is also smelly so probably should be done in a well ventilated spot or outside. All the best to you for the holiday season. - Janis
