Re: [Digital BW] Longevity research- cross posted

Another thing, I just noticed in his on going test results that he is doing serious tests of ink and media that a lot of people use but Wilhelm never touches. Things such as Lyson Cave Paint color pigments, Cone Piezography monochrome pigments, papers that Wilhelm is never sponsored to test, and things like Breathing Color canvas, with and without varnish. This is just the beginning and with new products that come on to the market, if his venture is successful, he'll be testing what people are actually using out here. Not just what we are told to use. In short, he is testing what USERS are sending him, not what the manufacturers are sending him. That's a huge difference is approach. Huge.

So again, if you are making a living printing (or even a good buck) and want to be able to refer clients to the longevity of your prints, please email him and see what it will cost. Please do not leave this to the paper and ink vendors to cover your papers and inks.
