I know there is a lot of information available on the light sensivity
of ink jet printers at the Wilhelm Laboratories web site, but is there
any site that documents the fading properties of laser prints?
My interest is in the archival properties of such prints and what
steps can be taken to stabilize prints made with these devices.
Recently I visited a site that had housed a graphics arts design
studio. On the wall was a poster of a large laser printer that had
been posted on the wall that had been the home for the hardware. This
poster was not printed digitally and the magenta color had faded
totally from the print. Alongside this poster was a print that
supposedly came from the printer and appeared to have faded far less
that the poster. Maybe it had been on the wall for less time but
still showed some sign of age.
