K3/VFA Fade Report Was A Mistake

2008-04-02 by Clayton Jones

Hello All,

A few days ago in a reply to someone in the "Silver Rag/K3 Fade Test"
thread, I said that a K3/VFA windowsill test print showed signs of
fading at 10 months.  I just realized this evening that it was a
mistake.  The print I looked was on Merlin Smooth, not VFA.  I had
several test prints here as I was typing the reply and for some reason
I thought it was the VFA version.  My apologies for the misleading
statement.

My K3/VFA windowsill test print is only three months old.  I do
currently have another K3/VFA print in a torture test (direct
sunlight) that's now at 83.2 hours and no sign of fading.  


Regards,
Clayton
