Harvey, All this archival talk is making me crazy. I honestly think that
for Now, the Generations and MIS archival pigments are as good as
anything out there, for NORMAL LIGHTING viewing. I have never seen any
fading at all on these two inksets and I've been using them since they
came out. Both have withstood at least 2 months in a sunny window with
no fading for all practical purposes. I will just use these inks and be
happy.  5 Years from now, they'll probably have 200 plus years, but no
one alive will ever know if those claims are true or not. EVER. So I'm
done worrying about that problem. Time to print again.

I Graduated Brooks in August 1969. I have really great memories of that
place.  I suppose they are about 80 percent digital by now, maybe more.
