Sorry Steve, I always forget to say it is MY experience when I mention 
test results.  North Dakota sun is very
different than florida sun. We don't have many pollutants up here. In 
fact our state was mentioned in Newsweek
or Time (one of those weeklies) as having the cleanest air of any state 
in the country.

Also, I see you are working with Paul's warm curves. It's the cold curve 
with the blue/cyan ink that is probably causing
my prints to last so long without fading.

But boy, 24 hours of sunlight and your prints fade, that sure is 
different from my tests up here!

No, I meant it isn't true for MY testing results here. I forgot to say 
that. I didn't mean YOUR tests
didn't fade!

  Also, I use the Media Street Enhanced black instead of the VM black, 
because it is noticeably a deeper
black. I keep saying this so much and so often I tend to forget a newbie 
wouldn't know that. I'll be more
clear from now on.

Send me your address, and I'll send you a couple grayscale stepwedges. 
I'll keep one up here in my window for
a week also, and one in dark storage.

They will all be printed on EAM paper, with Paul Roark's Cold Curve.
