Digital BW, The Print

As far as longevity is concerned, note the study (and graph) by Golden Paint
Company that compares dye and pigment image longevity vs applications of
various UV/abrasion coatings.  The results are quite striking to me.
Basically, non coated images have a very poor longevity with dye images the
worst.  However there is great improvement with the best coatings and the
difference between pigment and dye image longevity is negligible in a
properly coated image.  J Vee
