Alan,

I was curious to see if there was actually a density
fade in the MIS-FS inks. A comparison of the
Luminosity values of many areas in the two images on
that page do reveal fade on the print that turned
brown. Some of the more knowledgeable people (at least
the leading voices) on this list tend to use scanners
to do their scientific work and observations. And
using this method does reveal fade, not just warming.
It is hard for me to be able to tell if the MIS prints
I made have faded because I do not use the inks
anymore so can not compare to fresh. I switched back
to the Piezography inks.

Yes but what a fabulous camera that you make! How
fascinating that we have someone like Alan on this
list! You know I have always been intrigued by your
signature on your e-mails with the "lookaround camera"
and now I know. What impresses me most is that your
cameras are made with European craft! Real wood is so
rare these days. Most of the hand-mades I have seen in
the United States are comprised of metal. Maybe I will
buy one of your cameras some day.
