Digital BW, The Print

When I was still using the original Piezobw inkset I remember Jon Cone
reporting that Concorde Rag did not do well on the "South Window" test
he was doing at the time.

If it's still the same unchanged paper, then there may be some
longevity issue with it. But we have to remember that the
lightfastness of inksets have improved considerably over the past few
years.

The winner of that "South Window" test, if I remember correctly, was
Epson Photo Paper.
