Brian, Like Rob, I am getting into this a bit late, so forgive me if I go over old ground. There are chemical interactions between a glossy paper and ink. There are interactions between all coated papers and ink, but glossy seems to be the worst. Your best bet for getting long-acting glossy images are to use ONLY the paper and ink from the printer manufacturer. Anything ell has the possibility of changing the reaction to yield unexpected results. A couple of years ago, I was printing on an Epson printer, and bought some Kodak paper of a larger size. The Epson prints all looked great, but there was a strong (unacceptably so) green tint on the Kodak paper. I gave the Kodak paper to a friend, who was able to get great prints (although I can't remember what kind of printer she was using). If your glossy prints are fading fast, I would try another type of glossy paper. You have little to lose by trying. peace, rand
