Jeff, Thanks for the reply. >>>> I also keep a test print on each one to see if I experience fading at the same rate.<<< Good idea, thanks. >>>> The problem I see is that fading can be accelerated by improper storage and care. For example, putting it on a wall that gets direct sunlight, especially without being framed behind glass.can fade an inkjet print significantly faster than one properly framed and not in direct sunlight.<<<<< What I tack onto the back of my image matt board after framing is completed is a semi glossy 8x10 printed with instructions on how to take care of the image along with my copyright, gaurantee and contact information. I assume, people buy these prints to keep. The instructions are obvious so they would do as they suggest to preserve their investment. I felt guilty about the volitility of an epson print even when it is done with "archival" inks on an expensive printer. I also feel it adds class and quality to my work. Take care, Gregory david Stempel FIREFRAMEi m a g i n g www.americanphotojournalist.com "The brave ones were shooting the enemy, the crazy ones were shooting film"
