A couple of years ago the only printer I had working was a Canon 9000.  I printed a B/W 8x10 of a dancer that I had photographed with 35mm TriX years before and stuck it in a bookshelf.  It's out of direct light altogether.  As far as I can tell, it hasn't faded at all.  And it's on Dell glossy paper no less, which is all I had available when the notion struck me.  Go figure!  I loved to photograph that dancer and I'm thrilled each time I look at that print.  Harry
