I can only hope that Epson continues to support--and perhaps even improve-- its 870/1270 line for some yeatrs to come. I worry about those things in the digital world.

Wilhelm (http://wilhelm-research.com/index.htm) claims it is due to exposure to ozone, and can best be prevented by storing behind glass. Also he suggests keeping the print covered with a sheet of paper for 24 hours after printing. Dan C.
