I have put up a digital print on the refrigerator just to see how long it would take before you can start seeing differences. Now, that print is in a well-lit kitchen, but not in direct sunlight. It took me some 4 months after which the picture started to fade in a yellow-ish way. This mileage may vary when using different inks or under different lighting conditions.>> To my knowledge, this is no longer even remotely true. I'm sure many others will confirm this. Current inks/papers are claiming (and testing) to loooong stability (100 years?). And with color profiles available, printing is truly "what you see is what you get." Sam
