RE: Fading for ---EX vs 3000

[Cathy Brown <catbrown@cwix.com>]

Rafe, I have a print from my EX (Epson Ink, Epson Photo Paper - previous
version) under glass on my desk. I placed it there in November 1998 ...
approx. 8 months ago. It's placed in a position that receives the full blast
of desk light when I angle it away from my monitor. And yes, it has faded
considerably, mostly in the magentas ... it's a ghost of its former self.
This wasn't a scientific test, just happenstance, but suggests that glass
doesn't help ... at least not in extreme circumstances.

It doesn't answer my question at all.  Arnie makes
it clear that the print in question was NOT under
glass.  My question is, how does the presence of
glass change things?

FWIW:  Prints from my ESC-600 and Photo-700, when
displayed under glass, do not show observable fading
over a matter of several months.  Of course, this
"proves" nothing...
