Hanging a print in your kitchen is not a good test. Inks and papers weren't
designed for kitchens with all the fumes, etc. If you found something that worked in the kitchen great. "Taliesyn" wrote in message ... John Mills wrote: My suggestion... Try using a fine champagne in your printer and see what happens. If you can get a good quality color photo that has any longevity, use the champagne instead of ink. If house paint was sold in 2 oz bottles for $50, how would you feel, Robbed? I freely accept Cologne being sold in 1 or 2 oz bottles at that price. But not something as basic as printer ink. Printer ink is made in huge vats for peanuts - there are no expensive ingredients. Buying it should not require a bank loan nor my first born. What longevity? I have a photo on my kitchen cabinet (not anywhere near sun) that has hopelessly faded in less than three months, and it was printed with my i850 using original Canon ink and Canon Photo Paper Pro. Yet others beside it, printed on Epson Photo Paper are just fine. Photo Paper Pro is vastly over-rated and over-priced. I've gotten superior results with paper available on eBay at 1/5th the price). You only have to look around. -Taliesyn |

I think it's a very good test... If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen! Call it an accelerated test. I can't recommend it. -Taliesyn "Taliesyn" wrote in message ...

I know I hang all my fine photos in the kitchen. Not. If you consider that a good testing ground good for you but that is not where the experts test. And who am I, Emeril?? Whether or not experts test there is irrelevant. My tests show Canon Photo Paper Pro to fade the fastest. My tests also show a paper bought on eBay to be superior in contrast to Canon's best. Side-by-side tests showed a "foggy film" on Canon's Photo Paper Pro and none on a paper called Print Pro. I will now do accelerated longevity tests. By the way, all Canon's longevity tests are accelerated too. They do not wait 75 years to see what the results are. And my kitchen is not bathed in fumes... well, okay, my dad is into garlic sometimes. ;-) -Taliesyn "Taliesyn" wrote in message ...
