Wilhelm paper, ink ratings--where?
2005-05-15 by Doug I.
I hear a lot of numbers being thrown around regarding expected longevity of many of the papers and inks we discuss here on the list. But I for the life of me cannot find this info on Wilhelm's site. It seems to have general articles on 4 or 5 Epson printers, then a ton of "and here's another magazine that did an interview with me" links. Don't get me wrong, the testing done by many on this list gives me enough confidence that I can at least sell my work without worry. But I would like to be able to point my clients toward a site like Wilhelm's for reassurance and an "official" longevity guesstimate, as it's obvious that a lot of media outlets consider him an authority on the subject. I know we all have mixed feelings on that, but if you sell you can understand the need is there. Anybody able to point me to the actual paper/ink longevity claims on Wilhelm's or some other testing "authority"? TIA, Doug
