Re: 1160: UT-FS and which paper? or QTR? or...?

2005-04-07 by Peter Aronson

Thanks for the info and the offer, Paul. I'll repond off-line.

But I do have some more questions about paper:

1. How archival is EEM with UT-FS? Can I consider EEM to be one of the
archival options (i.e. no fading or yellowing for at least a few
decades)? I still have a lot of it on hand, so it would be nice to be
able to use it.

2. I do need to mail the print. Rolling it is out of the question,
right? I plan to pack it in an archival polyethylene bag from
clearbags.com

3. I investigated the 3 options you mentioned, and Permajet Delta
sounds very promising, but where can I buy it online? None of the 3
listed Permajet online distributors (Adorama, MIS, KM Photo) appear to
have it. I need to buy from someplace or someone willing to ship to
Mexico City...

Thanks,
Peter
