I have 2 pictures from the D1 printed with the Canon BCI 6 archival(25 year)inks on my wall,no glass frame etc.They have been up, in diffused light in my livingroom,for about 6 months and the other 8 months.No colour loss fading noticed to date.These are my guinee pigs:) However my printing monitor is about to die,fuzzy on start up fo about an hour then gets a bit sharper.Prints are not coming out as monitor shows,so its time for a new one. What luck.A survey firm went under in Toronto and they are auctioning off equipment.Several 17" Viewsonic moniors available,amoung tons of survey gear.Now to get the boss to bid on one for me<VBG>

Never mind I guess, just print another one. Someone could make money out of this (I mean other than ink manufacturers) you could keep selling the same picture to the same person! Just kidding. Using digital to photographic paper output, digital source images will be as long lived as any photograph. Image permanence is much less of an issue than digital file permanence.
