I have run across a couple of postings here where people refered to the "new revelations about silver print longevity". Where can I read this published information? I'm just curious and am putting together a file of technical information on contemporary printmaking. I have never heard this before visiting this site. I know Wilhelm told everyone years ago to "avoid at all cost" black and white RC meda, primarily because of the quick fix and washing via automated processors assiciated with commercial output . But I've always known that rc black and white was never designed for permanence but rather speed. LIke the old saying, " are black and white rc papers archival" - answer " God, I hope not" But I never knew there was new data about carefully processed , washed and toned silver prints. Interesting.
