Re: [Digital BW] Best method for printing b&w.

2002-01-15 by Jerry Olson

Mike, I haven't. But I'm going to. And if I see similar fading with
watercolors, I'm going to forget about fading problems altogether. If
Windsor Newton pigments fade in 3 months, I give up.  I don't expect any
buyer of my prints to display them in sunlight. All my Type C prints
from When I went to Brooks are totally faded. You can barely see an
image on any print in my portfolio. Some of these were on paper, some
were on RC papers, all have faded practically beyond recognition.  I
would not be a happy camper if my wedding photos were made in the late
sixties or the seventies.
