This is what I'm getting at. "Reasonable approximations"... I want to see
one. The glow of a fine optical silver print is my standard. Then we could
talk about platinum and palladium...
And what IS archival in digital terms? The Epson dude told me 80-100 years.
Isn't 100 years the MINIMUM with optical wet darkroom? I haven't conducted
test on any of my prints, but I'd be surprised if the best would go much longer
than 100 years.
