Digital BW, The Print

Richard,

Yes, the Gen 4 K has warmed and faded more than the more pure pigment blacks
in my tests.  I put EAM test strips that have been thoroughly "cured" (i.e.,
a day old or more) in bright fluorescent light.  I do not use glass.  I'm
sure the more protection you give the print, the longer it will last.
However, I must say that UV sprays or coatings have not shown much effect in
the fluorescent light tests.  I suspect they make more of a difference in
outdoor settings, where there is much more short-wave-length UV.

As to your previous question, I've now heard that MIS is recommending a new
cartridge for CFS systems.  It appears to be based on simply the amount of
ink it takes to get the old ink out of the sponge.  I didn't hear anything
about clogging, just potentially slightly inconsistent density and look due
to the 2 inks mixing.
