Will you please point me to the source of the information on the tests
showing that "the dye-sublimation prints made by the Alps 5000 should last
about  100 years ..."?

When we were selecting between Epson 1200 and ALPS for home digital darkroom
use, we were lead to believe that although ALPS "regular" prints last a long
time, the ALPS dye-sublimation process has much lower longevity.

Another reason for our decision was the banding we saw on prints from
several ALPS printers.  Has that been corrected?

Thanks for you help,

Regards, Lubos.
