B+W photo paper as printed ( wet darkroom) out 1's and 0's. The gist B+of the conversation was that Photo paper was the only item they knew at that time to have longevity of 100 years plus, and could prove it. So the message for all of you out there with those there digital image thingies..... print out your images onto B+W archival photo paper if you want to keep those images almost forever. I knew there was an advantage to my wet darkroom!!! Frank Filippone, spent the day in the darkroom.... 3 new images made. red735i@earthlink.net _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
