Epson Enhanced Matte & Wilhelm

2003-08-17 by Paul Roark

Did you notice that Wilhelm is now (July 25, 2003 posting) saying EEM with
B&W UC pigment printing is good for >150 years of display (with or without
UV protection) and 110 years of dark storage?

Recall that he'd previously said there would be yellowing in 30 years with
EAM.

I noticed a change in EEM/EAM about the time Wilhelm made the 30 year
yellowing statement, and I guessed the remark had caused Epson to address
that disastrous statement.  Now the cynic in me wonders whether the paper
formula really changed enough to hold off yellowing for 110 years or ...
something else changed.
