I have put vanishingly litte effort into working out how to make prints.
I have an HP deskjet 930c printer, and simply printing on plain (A4) paper
makes a quite reasonable print for me to look at, and I had one of them
pinned to the wall by my desk for months without anything obvious
changing. So I thought, I'll buy some of this fancy 'photo' paper;
it looks much nicer, but leave a print exposed to daylight (not direct
sunlight), and within 10 days it's fading, in a month it's more or less
gone. Is there something incredibly elementary that I have missed?
