Default Interview with Henry Wilhelm on print permanence

What's your experience?

My experience of the issue is well documented in the archives of this
and other forums where the subject was discussed at the time. I was
also the first point of contact Epson made within their European
customer base when they finally decided to act in resolving the problem
instead of ignoring it. Again, all verifiable in the open archives
should you require evidence.


My experience is that I've never had an Epson inkjet print (dye-based
OEM ink on various papers) that lasted longer than a year without fading
when posted in our kitchen, even in spots not receiving direct sunlight.

Epson inkjet prints do last a long time under fluorescent light, even
so-called full-spectrum fluorescent, but sunlight seems to be a killer.

Has anybody had success with some paper or other (with dye-based ink)?
