RE: [Digital BW] Samples of a faded piezotone print uploaded

Antonis,

These comparisons show the bad Piezotone black ink fade.  However, since the
"original file" image appears to be just that -- an RGB version of a
grayscale file -- and not a scan of a control, dark storage print, the
comparison also appears, I beleive inaccurately, to suggest that the
midtones turn green.

  Please take a look at a few areas from one of my Piezotone prints that was
  hanging for two months unframed:

  http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint/files/Ink%20Set
  s/PiezoTones/
  (select, copy and paste the address to your browser if it's wrapped around
a
  second line)

  Look inside the folder:  Piezotone prints that show faded black.

  Please keep in mind that this was printed on Epson Archival (aka Enhanced)
  Matte using Image Print 4. It may well be that IP4 puts down more black
ink
  with no other gray underneath. As a result, the failure of the black will
show
  more dramatically here than it may with other drivers.
