Re: For Ken: Uncoated papers was: Reference Print/Reality Check

Tyler:

thanks for your viewpoint concerning dyes and uncoated papers. 
Indeed, I have thought that pigments were THE longevity winners. 
Jeez...there's a ton of information out there...one could spend their 
lives and the lives of their printers just testing, testing...and 
like you say, the ones who are happily printing, are probably not 
posting here...they are too busy! I want to be that busy!! haha.

Unfortunately, I'm still in the 'wandering' mode, and will look into 
yours and some of the ideas that have come up concerning this subject.
