Interview with Henry Wilhelm on print permanence
Wayne J. Cosshall wrote:
I've posted a long article in my column on an interview I had earlier today with Henry Wilhelm: http://www.dimagemaker.com/specials/dimw.php The side-by-side comparison is very enlightening, even if one ignores the longevity claims. Unless the tests unfairly exploited a weakness in one product, there's a painfully clear difference in durability. Thanks for sharing. Since you've asked for feedback on the site before, here's two cents more after a new experience... * The opening photo in the article is too wide - this renders the center column blank for 2.5 pages until the right-hand table ends and the photo can fit in the window. (Netscape 7.2) Consider designing for a browser width of 780 to 800 pixels. It's more universal, and just because screens are higher-res doesn't mean the reader wants to surrender all the real estate for a single browser window. * I dislike landing on a generic page when following a link that promotes a specific article. Instead, link directly and provide an obvious navigation path up to the section home page. * For a photo-oriented site, the handful of photos seen this round were distracting. The LensBaby effect in the article seems out of place, as the text is a journalism piece, not art. The photo (of you?) in the section homepage is clearly focused behind the subject; it seems an odd choice for an anchor photo. FWIW, Richard |

Interview with Henry Wilhelm on print permanence
I disagree with with pixel sizing. Use percentages where possible.
