epson inks/archival papers

2001-11-13 by st@wefixpics.com

Hi
I'm new to the group and have already gained a wealth of information
- 
thanks to all for that. i am trying to get a grip on the fading / 
archival issue. Just started using an Epson 1280 with epson inks. dye 
based as i understand it? i read here that Epson archival matte is
not 
archival, will yellow and derteriorate, but epson claims 25 years 
before noticable fading. So, what about using epson inks with
archival 
papers. Are the inks as unstable or more so or less so? I'm aware of 
the Whilhelm site but it is unaccesible. Many thanks for some advice.
