[Digital BW] Re: 100 Hour Direct Sun Torture Test

2008-11-10 by Clayton Jones

Hello Eric,

>...I applaud the effort that goes into running a test like that.
>However,...

These are all valid points, and anyone who undertook to do such would
be in effect reinventing the wheel that W has already created.  As I
explained, I did not set out to create a perfect scientifically
controlled test, but merely to satisfy my own curiosity and report the
results here, FWIW.  

In spite of the lack of humidity controls and all the rest, I think
there is considerable value in knowing that an unprotected print can
spend 100 hours in direct sunlight without any significant change.  If
someone else does not perceive any value there...well that's ok.

BTW, there have been discussions here in the past re the value of
informal user tests, and the results have generally been supportive of
a knowledgebase of user test results.

Regards,
Clayton
