That's most interesting, as I have prints that are VERY faded...in fact,
every one that has been in the sun for more than a couple of weeks, has
severe fading.  Ones that haven't been in the direct sun, are "fine".

A LOT of this obviously is situation dependant, whether it's humidity,
temperature or what, I simply don't know...but obviously the results of
people vary quite a bit.

I know I've received prints from people who claim to have no banding, but I
see banding in the prints...so this is also a "human calibration" issue as
well ;-)

Regards,

Austin
