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! Jerry > Jerry, how can you possibly state so unequivocaly that MY experience > is simply NOT TRUE? 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.
