Mostly we read reports of the fade/warming of the black inks. What I fear
most is the fading of delicate highlights. I would think the weaker tones
would be the most at risk when fading occurs. For instance, I fear that 5%
highlights will drift to 1%, and 3% will drift to 0%, and subtle details
will be gone, gone, gone. So my question to you fade testers is, do
highlights fade more or less relative to blacks?
