Has anyone done any analysis on Canon Inks lately? I'm particularly interested in the inks used in the I9900 but would like to know about any of them. I've done a Google search but the answers seem inconclusive. So I'd be grateful for any pointers available.

I'm going to bump this because I really would like to know about the color fastness of these Canon inks. And the people who use this site, I think, are the most knowledgeable.

I intend to start pricing my work pretty soon. It seems fair to the purchaser to know how long a piece might last on his/her wall.

The last I heard was that Wilhelm was saying 37 years under normal conditions, longer with museum setting. This was with Canon and the Photo Pro paper.

So that would mean if you really want to keep a print for the long haul, you would be best served by taking it to a professional print house, right?

This is an interesting source. Thank you. (37 years under normal conditions sounds pretty good to me) and when I accessed the site just now, there was plenty of material to study.
