Re: [Digital BW] ColorLife Paper for B&W Pints with Epson Inks

2001-09-10 by Sam A. McCandless

Martin's citation of 60 Wilhelm years for Fuji's Crystal Archive is 
consistent with Wilhelm's web site's current (9/1) update.

Some version of MediaStreet's Generations, I'm not sure which, is 
however, now at 75 and counting, and presumably short of 100, Wilhelm 
years on Royal Plush.

Ektacolor Edge 8 is at 22 Wilhelm years; is that silver?
