I've had prints in a gallery for nearly 2 years with the original piezo 
inks, and they haven't faded
a bit.  There must be many variables, because this gallery is well lit.

I second that Jerry. I live in a 1950 era house surrounded by 
glass and I have Piezo prints on my walls from the introduction of 
the original Piezo inks. Now maybe it's just my understanding of 
what fade is but I haven't noticed any problems with any of the 
prints. Some of them are displayed next to orginal Weston's and 
some of my own silver gelatin prints. I am dismayed when I read  
the multiple reports of faded Piezo prints in these groups.
