Re: [Digital BW] Gen 4 Black was Ink decisions

There is no warming after 300 hours in Paul Roars torture chamber.  I have
had an image in a south window without change in 3 months. Kodak said it was
good to 35-40 years. That's good enough for me.

I would much rather have 35 years with great blacks than weak prints that
last 400 years.
