After >printing and framing several photos for display at our gallery we >have found that Epsons premium glossy photo paper is emitting a >vapor which fogs the glass. Contacting Epson so far has produced the >standard-"we will look into this" reply. These prints have been >allowed to dry for about a week before framing. Also while removing >the mats, we discovered severe color fading. These prints were not >in direct sunlight and displayed for about 3 weeks! >Interestingly we have not noticed these problems with Epson's 1200, >that is, the fogging and fading (we have not had a reason to open >these prints to check)."
