I hammered plants unto watercolor paper in 2004 and the prints have not faded. No need to spray any fixative on the notecards once hammered. They will not fade.
Also, I put a paper towel over the plant and then hammer. Many times I get a really good impression on the paper towel as well as the notecard. I use the impression on the paper towel and put that on a notecard. Looks really cool.
I wanted to add that some plant material actually stays on the paper. Panies, morning glories, petunias, 4 o'clocks, rose petals - any really thin plant material. You may leave the stuck on plant or remove it. I like the thin ones remaining on the paper.
