Re: [Digital BW] portfolio black fading

2005-07-14 by hogarth@snappydsl.net

I've used the portfolio black since it first came out. I've got a 
0.8x1.0m print in my front hall that was printed with the selenium tones 
and portfolio black. This print gets direct sunlight in the morning all 
year long. It's over two years old now, with no sign of fading. This is 
clearly not a scientific test, so make of it what you will.
