Re: [Digital BW] home testing archival properties

Les,

One thing you should do (or have done at the time you printed the window 
prints) is to print exact replicates and put them in dark storage. Then 
you can tell if indeed the window prints are fading at all or perhaps 
just fading equally if you can't discern a visual difference between them.
