Digital BW, The Print

John,

I really have to agree with your thoughts.

What do people expect?

This is really crazy and anal. I ask anyone to place a sheet of Fiber Base
silver poper in the sun for 30, 60, or 90 days. Guess what? It yellows!
Surprised?

I now have 20x24 prints with MIS inks on H. William Turner that are a year
old, under UV Plexi and show no visible signs of fading.

Mike
