On 4/12/05, Powell Hargrave, discombobulated, unleashed: >OK. On a nice high quality art paper. Hang it in a nice bright sunny >room. Will compare prints next year at this time.
I would not hang any print of any kind on a wall that caught direct sunshine, whether it was archival or not, whether it was behind glass or not. Direct sun on a hanging picture / print / piece of art is not IMO suitable viewing conditions. I have my first ever colour print from an Epson Photo Stylus made in 1998 and it is still hanging behind glass, well shaded, and it has not faded at all. I have many prints from the Canon hanging around the house, behind glass, and there is no fading at all. Someone stuck a party invite I rattled off 12 months ago on our fridge, and looking at it, I can see it has faded a small amount.
