May I ask since when are you using the PT Selenium inks and how you store or
display your prints?

Thanks in advance,
Loris.

Loris:

I started using them the day (well, plus shipping time)they appeared 
on the Inkjetmall web site and the various beta-tester reviews were 
posted on this list - I would guess maybe 3 or 4 months ago.

I tack some prints to the wall and frame others under UV-resistant 
plexi - if you're asking why I haven't yet experienced the fading 
that has been discussed on this list, I don't know.  However, none of 
my prints get any sun or heat to speak of.
