Digital BW, The Print

Hello Bob,

>I don't think you should use the word 'archival' in the same sentence 
>as windowsill fading. Archives of prints etc are usually kept in the 
>dark, where totally different things are responsible for fading!!

I understand what you're saying, but given the context of the
discussion I think it's splitting hairs, or getting too semantic (or
something).  However I take your point and will try to be more
accurate next time, but it really wasn't about the definition of
'archival'.

The point is, if you are deciding what ink to use and are interested
in fade resistance, given the windowsill test results would you choose
Septone, even though you know your prints will never be on a windowsill?


Regards,
Clayton
