Digital BW, The Print

Paul,

Thanks for your thoughts on the Museo, etc. for dark storage.

All of my photo restoration work to date has been for individuals who 
plan to display the new prints. Like you, I haven't had a lot of time 
to experiment with all the new papers, plus I just got my MIS HEX 
variable tone inks set up last night. So, basically, I'm starting by 
learning as much as I can from the pioneers in this group who've 
already been testing and working with the various papers.

Like you, I tend to be cautious. I don't want to over-promise 
customers when it comes to the archival qualities of their prints. In 
many cases they're expecting these photo restorations to be heirlooms 
someday and I don't want to disappoint them even if I'm not around 
when these prints are passed on to the next generation.

Your insight is very helpful, and hopefully I can contribute to this 
discussion in the not too distant future.

Thanks...

Tom Keesling
