Epson 2200 preliminary results from Wilhelm Research.

I just got this off of the Adobe Photoshop Forum by Bruce Fraser - enjoy:



Bruce Fraser - 12:00pm Oct 28, 2002 Pacific (#51 of 57) 	

I've been given the green light to share the following preliminary results from 
Wilhelm Research. 

Wilhelm Imaging Research, Inc. Display Permanence Ratings for EPSON Stylus 
Photo 2200 prints framed under glass and displayed with 450 lux 
illumination for 12 hours per day: 

70 years for Premium Luster Photo Paper 
56 years for Premium Glossy Photo Paper 
54 years for Premium Semigloss Photo Paper 
58 years for Velvet Fine Art Paper 
92 years for Watercolor Paper - Radiant White 
62 years for Enhanced Matte Paper (but paper may yellow in 30-40 years) 

The final numbers may change slightly -- Henry is running final-confirmation tests 
now -- but he doesn't expect them to change much.
