"normal", whatever normal is, then if it fades somewhat in 25 
years, then I won't feel "that" bad about it, whatever "that bad" is.

I'd rather feel bad about the print in 25 years, than today, when I 
carry it to the window.

The only problem is that at least in my tests, the 1270 dye blacks turned 
green in a month taped to my window. I wonder if anyone else has noticed 
this, even in less harsh conditions.

All the best!
