Re: Warm and warming inks

Hello Peter,

I have a print made with the MIS-VM ink set on EAM that has been
hanging unprotected here in my work room with flourescent light 14 to
18 hours per day for over 6 months (4/27/02).  It was still noticably
warming at around 4 months (in August) and seems to have finally
settled down.  It also faded a bit, most noticable in the mid-tones,
so the changes were not completely uniform.  This was not measured on
any instrument, just my eyes.  For reference, right next to it is a
black-only print of the same image done at the same time.  It warmed
slightly over a period of a few weeks (that I could notice) and today
looks very close in color and density to one freshly printed.

Regards, - cj
