With traditional pigments, the pigment is suspended in a binder, and it's this binder which holds the pigment on the substrate. Change over time can happen with any element. I.e. the substrate can deteriorate, the binder can deteriorate, or the pigment can change. With current computerized ink printing, doesn't the coating on the paper act as the binder? Are there any issues with these coatings breaking down over time?
