On this subject, I looded at archival data from Wilhelm's site one for prints made on the 9800: http://www.wilhelm-research.com/epson/9800.html and the other for Hahnemuhle papers printed on the 7800 (data should comparable): http://www.wilhelm-research.com/WIR%20Hahnemuhle_2008_10_20%20/ Hahnemuhle%20Inkjet%20Papers.html and found something very interesting: Premium Luster 250 (OBA's and RC) rated 71 years under glass, 165 under UV, 48 with bare bulb and >200 in dark storage. Photo Rag Pearl (no OBA and Rag) rated 64 years under glass, 126 under UV, 35 with bare bulb and >200 in dark storage. With the recent discussions on OBAs and paper bases, how is it possible for Premium Luster to last longer? Not only that but: Fine Art Pearl (OBA's and Rag) rated 82 years under glass, 148 under UV, 46 with bare bulb and >200 in dark storage. So of the two Hahnemuhle papers, the one with OBAs outlasts the "purer" paper. Am I misunderstanding something? Thanks! Jim
