With regard to Canon vs. Epson. Canon printers are great and super

some prints out of my files that I printed about four years ago on a
Canon. They have been dark stored in a filing cabinet. They are
very badly faded.
Silly question dept, were you using Canon inks? I use the BCI6 inks
and
have not seen any fading in 2 years, either stored in folders or
displayed. Maybe I should take one down and print again and
compare....
Yes. I only use printer manufacturer's inks. My inks are BCI6 as
well. The only prints I have that have never faded at all are some
Cibachromes I made in the 70s. I wish for inkjet prints with that
degree of permanence.
