Digital BW, The Print

Mark,
Might I make a suggestion. I know we are all very technical and scientific on this e-group and you are very technical and scientific about your testing, but reading the results might be a bit confusing or just plain not understandable to the layman. How about a one or two sentence summary at the top of the PDF with your best "down to earth" wording. Perhaps "as of this date I have found the following paper ink combination to be fading fast/slow/not at all" or something like that? Seeing certain numbers going down might be acceptable to some, but others might see it as a big fade issue. I.E... give us your personal feeling.

Unscientifically,
Mark
