I would guess that an alternate atmosphere (such as pure, dry nitrogen, or argon ) would be in order..... No need to write a thesis for "1", any good websites or book titles you can mail me off list would be great! Ed I assure you, as one who handles old photos every day that the survival rate of silver prints can be very poor indeed. A better way to preserve an image might be to print it on high quality paper with stable inks. Lithography from the 20's is holding together better than silver in our collection. Let's see, ink on high quality paper? Could that be Inkjet's future? Sonny Carter Imaging Specialist Cammie G.
