Digital BW, The Print

Clayton, I think you are putting more into my suggestions than I. Perhaps it
is my platinum printing days and the tests that I ran for it, but a
hygrometer is cheap or not even required. I quick look at a site such as
AccuWeather, would give you the RH and UV index numbers. Please don't think
that I see little or no benefit. What I meant to say was with very little
effort, your test could have provided a lot more.   

 

And as for redoing Ws work, an independent verification of that work would
not be a bad thing.

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

 

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
